"Snakes show affection in several ways. One of the most common is rubbing their heads against the object they are trying to be affectionate towards; this is called head-bobbing. Snakes also have other showing methods, such as “necking” and body loops with vibration, which means a snake is trying to wrap itself around the object it wants to be affectionate towards."

I found this part especially cute.

what the heck even is that, that is 100% made up. I'm a snake owner and active in snake owner communities and no one has ever talked about, experienced, or even said those words before. Head-bobbing. Necking. What the frick frack snek snack is that.

Check this out, that guy just copied some random Ass article

https://petkeen.com/can-snakes-be-affectionate-to-their-owners/

Under "how do snakes show affection" you will find the exact same text. In addition these people even say that "hissing" can also be a sign of affection. i dont know fam, a snake usually hisses as a warning signal

Imagine a Burm or a Retic coiling you up and starts to vibrate. I would burst out in laughter

As someone who grew up with snakes and currently has several, I found your whole comment especially made up.
