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.
Well, I actually told them it's a ball python... and of course they've gone ballistic on me. I figure it's the same thing with the roaches; they calm down after a while. XD
I think it's because they always imagine a python as a 20 foot, rope-of muscle killing machine swallowing a pig... But when they saw that's it's only about 10 inches long and pudgy as heck they changed their minds. XD
