Yeah, it's true, snakes don't have the capability to feel emotions such as like, love or hate. They do, however, develop trust as well as have a very good sense of reading people. They know if they feel safe and comfortable with somebody, usually somebody familiar. They also know if they do NOT feel safe and comfortable with somebody.
I know of one member on this forum who has one snake that is super chill with everybody, except his wife. Apparently, the snake just gets a weird vibe from her. Yet the rest of his snakes are fine with her.
The truth is: you'll never go away for a day or two and come home to see your snake pacing the glass, wagging it's tail excited to see you. They simply don't feel that type of emotion.
I love my snakes, they are family. However, they are just comfortable with me, not threatened by me and accept me, but do not love me back. And I'm fine with that...
