I've often noticed that my boa will pick up on my moods. After a really rough day with a major medical scare, I was an absolute basket case. When the time came for his daily snuggle, he was the jumpiest I'd ever seen him. It was bizarre to see him defensive, as he is usually just an absolutely laid back and placid snake. I've heard so many snake owners cite similar experiences too! Just because something is neither mammalian, nor social, doesn't mean it won't pick up on the emotions of its handler.
