Do I think my snakes love me? Well not to put to fine a point on it, no. I do not think either of my snakes recognize me beyond something that handles them once in a while and has gotten to the point where it does not smell like something that will eat or injure them.

Both Dax (my BP) and Toby (my cornsnake) retreat when they have their heads out and I walk by. Toby, in particular, does not recognize us as much yet, but we have had him for just about a month now.
My snakes don't mind being handled and will happily investigate calmy anyone who does so, but I think if they had a choice, they wouldn't ever leave their vivs.
