From a completely evolutionary view there is no such thing as an interesting warm jungle gym. Anything as large and warm as a human would be seen as a threat by most if not all snakes in the wild. The fact that they learn to trust you shows something beyond instinct.

Sun baked rockscape. warm junfle floor, mammal dens.

Also it's not just instinct. They know they have experienced the same set of.smells and didn't die. Nothing ate them. Again intelligence doesn't equal love.
