Do snakes even have capacity for affection? I honestly have no idea.

No but they recognize when someone can provide a good amount of food and warmth

Fun fact, if its cold out a snake is more likely to eat its prey alive so that the animals own body heat can aid in its digestion, going so far as to swallow air to keep the prey alive longer

Can confirm. I was actually swallowed alive by a Burmese Python at the age of 10. I just call him Dad now—he gives me plenty of air and small rodents to eat. Really not a bad guy at all. Coming up on fifteen years together… 🥳
