help settle a debate. do snakes have personalities?

[Valvaren]

I feel my ball has a personality, it might not be much compared to my Dragon but he definitely does he is extremely shy with anyone not me, balls up, freezes, or attempts to get back to me, now me and my fiance are both there at feeding time and both handle him equally but he prefers me. He has a habit of trying to lick my nose/eyes and when I tell him 'no' he gives up, I don't yell or blow on his face and its not like a jerky reaction he just stops for a minute, looks and me then moves away.

Now Thil my dragon defiantly has personality, she hates her baths and recognizes when I say its time for one, gives me a look and gets p*ssy, hates being anywhere but on me and listens to her name. I've had a few times when I've had her out while I was upset on my bed now any other time her immediate response is to run around licking everything or crashing on the pillows by my head but everytime I was there, crying or just feeling ****** she crawled on me and nuzzled into my neck staying there till I move.

I think as a society we tend not to give animals the proper respect and we underestimate them, we can study their brain and anatomy but I truely believe we will never know how they think or what they think until we can either become them or understand them but that's my .02 cents and i'm glad there are so many people on here who feel the same way and do give animals the proper respect.
