I guess i've been very fortunate. My mom worked for family and childrens services for many years. She's been to many houses where there were snakes, and there were a lot of issues regarding those snakes. Shes had a few families loose thier kids for weeks at a time over a ball python (or similar small snake) --

We have very secure cages, and we converted our 2 1/2 car garage into a herp house. There is a key-only lock on the door, as well as a regular knob (keeps the boogy man out too!).
both my kids have reptiles in thier rooms my 1 yr old has 2 beardies, my 2 yr old has a baby rosy boa.
there are a few other snakes in the house, 7 foot red tail is the biggest -- all the BIG kids are in the garage.

anyway--
what others have said is 100% true. first impressions are a must!! my mom has always told me that about 80% of the time, she knew how the family was going to behave before she even got out of the car.
Everyone around me has always known what i have, and they've called animal control -- and get laughed at-- sometimes they come by just to see who we have out and wave. hehehe-- love running a rescue!

anyway- first impressions, clean cage, MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T SMELL LIKE REPTILES IN YOUR HOUSE-- LIGHT A CANDLE OR SOMETHING!!! , anyway-- what everyone has said and please do update everyone!!

Thanks and good luck!
