Well I don't know what you want me to say. There are two very different schools of thought behind these posts.

One is that snakes don't feel emotions. They survive on instinct, and can't feel happy or sad about their enclosure, handler or food. I believe they can feel either stressed and fearful, or secure and content. Whether it's towards their enviroment or keeper. They strive to find a secure setting, and strive to find food because they are basing their actions on their instincts.

Then the other idea is, snakes judge their surroundings and find them either pleasing or constrictive by reasoning. They feel a whole range of emotions like anger, love, affection, disgust. They can identify those people they care for, and strive to be with them or please them. Or they strive to please themselves with activites and actions based on them reasoning.

I don't believe the second one. I don't think snakes can feel emotions the same way mammals and higher animals do. I would never agree with your statements that your snakes are trying to visit with you and want to roam for fun.

I am of the mind they want to secure their settings by first confirming there are no immediate threats, then they will find a small secure place to hide until it is time to feed or breed.
