Who says snakes can't love!
I hear all the time that snakes are not capable of love, that they don't feel emotion and their survival instincts outweigh everything else. I think that this is wrong, and that snakes are intelligent creatures. I have a friend in the U.K. who would they that at the very least you can build a relationship of trust and understanding with your snake, if not even love. She has a 15 foot albino burmese python that has slept in her bed with her every night for over two years and he has never ever crossed the line, not one time. If anyone touches her and she makes a sound at all he'll rear up and start hissing at them very violently and bite them if he gets the chance as if he's defending her. If a snake is intelligent enough to be very protective of his owner then obviously he cares for her in some way and in that case a snake is intelligent enough to feel some kind of emotional attachment to a human, why not love? Tell me what you think. I think this is undeniable proof that a snake can love.
