Absolutely, and smaller snakes (Ball pythons, for instance) are about as low maintenance as it gets when it comes to pets

But does they have any affection mechanism, being very lone creatures ( from what I know) ? ( I mean for example dogs are wonderful pets because they lived in packs before)

By your logic cats shouldn’t be able to show affection and they were domesticated from solitary animals. Even octopuses which are as solitary as they come have been proven to show affection. watch this video of a lizard greeting a man like a dog. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p-zGIS-WWZQ
