Re: I think my snake loves me
Well, I don't think my snakes love me. I think they could care less about me.... except that I'm the one that tosses the chow into their containers.
My king snake doesn't care if I'm around or not or if I snatch her up and play with her for a while. She *will* however, run (well, slither) back to me when I put her in one of the kids' hands who she's not accustom to. My bullsnake... he hates everything and everyone, except food of course. He'd just as soon never see me near him again, much less have the nerve to take him out and want to hold him.... oh the horrors!!!

Re: I think my snake loves me
I think my ball python definately likes me. It's more that he knows there's nothing to fear from me, and we share the same space. If he was in the wild I would probably be his favorite tree. Doesn't care that much, but I'm his prefered tree out of the options.

Re: I think my snake loves me
I know my snakes know no emotion however... one is a rotten little ehem that will only let me hold her when she feels like it and the other one has a great temperment that will burry itself in my clothes and when shedding time is a little too close he will try and use my hands, legs, pants, chest... anything to start his shed. He'll only do it to me... so emotion, no. But I do believe they associate certain smells with a non-threat and get used to it being that way.

J/K I 'm not going to give up my snakes because some people don't get it.
I haven't read all the way through the thread, but I see over 100 people feel their snake loves them (ahem, including me!). Have you at least torn your hair out?

Re: I think my snake loves me
I got tired of the pessimism, so I've jumped to the end also.
I could type for days, but I'll just get to the point.
I won't say that kobi LOVES me in the way humans love, but I will say that she recognizes me, enjoys my company (I'm her junglegym), and prefers me over other people. So I guess she loves me as much as she mentally can. This may only be 1% of what we consider love, but I would not dare ever say they have no emotion and are incapable of love.

I like the way you put it. I do see some sort of connection happening with our snake, but how to define...?

Re: I think my snake loves me
My snake tolerates me I think. I wouldnt call it love but more of an understanding. He knows who I am for sure but I think if I crossed a line with him, he wouldnt hesitate to put me in my place. I dont think he would consider his feelings for me before he bit me. As the old saying with snakes "bite first, ask questions later"
