who can say their reps love to be loved?

The problem is, no one here is equiped to do a real study on this. We all have our opinions, and some of us have much more expierence. But these things alone do not truly answer this question. The reason we can make an assumption that snakes do not bond to us, is because in their normal life they wont bond to any other living being. Dogs and Cats will naturally create social bonds with others so they can assist eachother, this is why they fit perfectly into a human household, because they'll assign themselves to a social standard in the house. However no evidence has been provided that snakes share this trait. There are some cases of snakes "Be-friending" another animal, like the snake who shares a cage with a mouse in a Zoo (can't rememeber any of the details, sorry). However these alone are one offs, and not a true trait. While you may believe your snake is your best friend, and loves you the most, science and studies show that they are indifferent about you, to a point.
