Hmm, I have to say that my mom and I's BP, Cooper has shown great intelligence and some emotion.
He was in his cold(er) side hide, my mom was worried about him, for some reason thought he was dead....I went in, poked around, and he poked his head out and said "Hi moms!"
She was crying and sniffly, idk why still, but she was INCREDIBLY worried.
From that day on, whenever someone comes into his room, he pokes his head out if to say "Hey, I'm okay!" He never did that before. He also will touch the top of his enclosure rather frantically if I do say so myself when he wants to come out and be held.
When he had a traumatic experience with f/t, he wouldn't show my parents he was hungry because they were the ones who gave it to him regularly. I had never fed him and he would come out and try to get my attention despite me never doing anything with/for him previously. Why? Because I wouldn't give it to him. I hadn't been the one who gave it to him and he thought I might give him something else.
I understand why some people might think that snakes have no emotions, no personalities, but...can you really say that's true? I just recently started giving a hoot about snakes, before that I didn't care at ALL. I still thought that he was amazingly smart and oddly emotional for a snake. Now I truly believe that he is a caring creature despite being a solitary animal.
He also really likes to climb onto my pikachu snapback....it has the ears and he loves to climb onto it, wrapping around the ears, about crushing my poor neck from his weight
