Do snakes enjoy being held/interacting with humans at all or is it a one sided affection only?

“Enjoy” and “affection” probably aren’t the right words to use for snakes. They definitely can’t love us like birds and dogs and cats do, but they can come to recognize us as safe, warm, and interesting things to climb on. That’s not exactly a stirring love connection, but it ain’t nothing, either—a well-kept snake that chooses to come out of its enclosure and hang out on you without trying to leave is probably a snake showing the closest approximation of affection a snake is capable of.

And that’s pretty good, honestly. My tarantulas sure as shit don’t give me that much!
