My snake is very capible of communicating if she doesn't want to come out. Sometimes she seeks me out. She has a hide that is warmer than I am. I don't think anyone is arguing that snakes experience the same level of emotions as people do. But love is subjective. If my snake can differentiate me from other people, prefer my handling her from other people because she has come to trust me and associates me with positive experiences and saftey then I consider that love. Obviously she would never jump in front of a car for me and I recongize she is not a domesticated animal but I have seen the same species of snakes react differently to the same stimuli which would indicate they have personalities.
