Totally agree. The problem becomes when we humans forget to set limits on this type of behaviour and you see things like "my snake loves to go for car rides", "my snake loves me so I keep it with me all day long", "my snake enjoys going to the pet store with me", "my snake bit me so I know it hates me", etc.
