It can be, but it can also be a gross misrepresentation. Outside of higher mammals, it seems safer to me to assume that their emotions are extremely dissimilar and human emotions are poor analogues at best.

That does not mean they do not have value.
Also I’m shocked we haven’t seen a snake person come and argue they get depressed.
