right. this might seem like an odd question but i gotta ask people.. ive often heard that snakes have no emotion.. and know we will never be able to call em and play fetch like a dog.. BUT... i kinda believe they must feel SOMETHING.. for example, my royal python.. if i go up to his tank, he moves towards the window and stands up.. almost as if asking to come out.. i will take him out and he will sit on me for ages without trying to escape.. he also wraps himself round my neck and rubs his face on my cheek.. if he is on the floor, he will turn his head and follow my movements.. when i have been sitting down and he is on the floor, he has moved straight towards me, and moved up my leg and stayed there.. i might come across as mad but seriously, this is how he acts.. does any one else have a snake like this? of course id like to believe he loves me ha ha!
he is actually such a lovely snake.
