Ball Python's don't have the emotional or psychological capacity to feel attachment or an emotional connection to someone like say a dog or a cat can. They can't like you or love you or care about your well being. However, they can trust you and feel comfortable around you. They generally associate your smell and warmth as a safe place. Ball pythons are also very curious animals, and like to investigate new smells and objects. Your Ball Python doesn't like you, for say, but he definitely trusts you, and feels safe around you.
