Signs?!

snakes do not like humans, they put up with us.

if they aren't biting you, they are tolerating you.

if they are eating and shedding well, they are tolerating you.
 
Agree with Mysfitz - it's more about them getting to learn you're safe,, rather than actually "liking" you in the same way a cat or dog would. Some indications of this would be:

- When you open the tank lid/door and they come towards you instead of trying to avoid you.

- When you pick them up they seem alert but they're not fighting to get away.

- When you walk past the tank and they're out in the open, they just watch you go past rather than rushing off to hide.

All of these things can take a long time. To a hatchling, you're a huge blobby pink monster and it can take months of gentle handling to convince it that you're an OK huge blobby pink monster that won't hurt it.
