OK example
Even if it was slithering about on the floor, there would be no form of communication/interaction.
Say with a dog - you can teach it certain words, like its name.
It will respond if you call its name by coming to you
Give you its paw, roll over, etc etc etc - you get the idea
What does the snake do - slither about

Horses for courses, some find reptiles fascinating (including me) and derive great pleasure from being in their presence: the fact that you can't take them for walkies etc... is not too important. They are lower maintainence and -dare I say- more interesting than cats and dogs. They do require specialist knowledge though and will never be a companion in the way that a dog or cat might.
Royal pythons are usually exceptionally tame: very rare for them to bite; they are also known as ball pythons because they tend to just curl up into a ball when threatened. They rarely grow much larger than 6 feet.
Reticulated pythons vary in temprement, but can be mean, and grow to be much larger than other pythons and Boas. I think officially the longest snake ever officially recorded was a reticulated python (about 32 feet if memory serves). When they're adults, handling them is usually a two man job (just in case).
We tend not to think of constrictors as being as dangerous as venonmous snakes, but to put it in context: get bitten by the most venonmous snake in the world: the Fierce Snake and it usually takes hours for someone to croak. If a large constrictor gets a coil around you, you have minutes, because once you let a breath go, you won't get another
And before any of the SN hardmen say they'd be stronger. Large constrictors have been known to take down horses
Most snakes, however, are nothing to be alarmed about and suffer from a bad reputation they don't deserve. If you ever handle on you might be surprised at how different they feel/behave from how you'd imagine!
