Pythons are pretty chill snakes overall tbh. If you're careful, handle them frequently, and make sure they're comfortable in their environment they won't do anything. It all comes down to owner handling.

They also aren't that stupid and won't (usually) try to attack anything that's too big for them to eat, except out of fear. Because thats a waste of energy. And she is very much too big for him to get his mouth around to digest.

Depends on species, ball python tend to be absolute dears but reticulated pythons at the very least hate me

Weird question but as someone who has never owned a reptile, do they feel love and kinship like mammals do? I always picture their reptile brains as very logical and without any emotion except maybe fear sometimes, but I could be totally wrong on that.

I've not heard anyone describing reptiles as having "love" or "kinship" like a mammal pet ala cat/dog does. They're not really pack or social creatures. However They do form familiar bonds with their owners/handlers that they'll be most comfortable with, as they can tell the difference between people (largely through body scent). When they are comfortable they'll be more energetic, mobile, and explore with curiosity.
