re·spect
/riˈspekt/
Noun
A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
Verb
Admire (someone or something) deeply, as a result of their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
I don't think snakes fit the definition. I actually think respect is a worse term than affection. I still think we should be using term like tolerant / ability to associate us with some benefit to their own well being (selfish? if we are sticking with the human emotions theme)
