Snakes show affection through calm behavior and by seeking physical contact. If your snake rests on you without trying to escape or seems relaxed and unthreatened, it's a sign of trust. Another indicator is your snake's feeding response; if they eat comfortably around you, it's a sign they feel safe in your presence.
