man, i just don't think of snakes as being friendly. if you were smaller or they were bigger, they would eat you. they don't develop a bond or attachment from what i have seen/heard.Most Snakes are friendly creatures that dont want to harm anybody,normally the only time non venemous snakes strike at humans is when they first enter molt, which is the time right before they shed their skin,their eye's turn a deep cloudy blue & the snake is blind,they strike because they are afraid not angry.
