im not saying him lying was okay, but the bad experience with the toddler was most likely bigger than a harmless ball python and found that sometimes people will have bad experience with something then think bad of everything related to that... such as my mom was babysitting some kids when she was young and they had bb guns (the metal bbs)and were running around shooting and it took a looooong time of convincing to let her get me a harmless bb gun (plastic bullets)

Why on earth would you go against their express wishes and buy a python, and then lie about it? The phrase that springs to mind.... 'betrayal of trust'. How will they react when the see a picture in a book, or lean over your shoulder while you're on the forum? I reckon they'll be pretty disappointed.
