Actually, I think that's the perfect way to say it. He's comfortable in his enclosure, he knows he gets fed, has good surroundings, he's comfortable with people in general, and me in particular. So you could say he "likes" me, but it is not an emotionally based decision. Well, at least not in my opinion. Its based on comfort, and his needs.
