can you say for a fact that they dont or cant love something OR favor something largely over something els of its likeness?

I consider love to be a human emotion. I think it can be applied to certain animals that are more complex. But there is only so much a snake can do to convey "emotion". They can slither, flick their tongue, and lay around. They don't have any distinctive noises of content like cats do.
