Personally I think its important to not interact with your reptiles. Yes i own snakes and have done for a while including many different species and sub species. I also catch and relocate wild herps.
I have snakes that are handleable to the point I can take them to a primary school for a demo, and others that I would give to a baby to hold they are that quite. I have a full grown male bhp that is definatly not for the faint hearted. I have others that are in between. I am yet to see a snake that I can honestly say enjoys human company.
Even the ones I have that have never bitten, and are very quite still do not like being handled, though I can see why a person would think that they enjoy it. Snakes don't have the capacity to feel anything for their keeper. They are not dogs that like to run up and say hello.
Are the quite one I catch in the wild tame? They have never seen a human before, let alone been handled. Yet they handle just like my quite ones! Nevertheless, they still want to ultimately get away from me no matter how gently I handle them or how unlikely it is that they will bite.
