When I was a young kid, one of the few things my mother was very strict about was her rule that I must never ask people outside the family for presents. Acting in a way that made it clear I wanted a present without explicitly saying so was forbidden too.
She was stricter about this than about "don't bring snakes in the house" and she was not a fan of snakes.
... How often did the snake thing come up?
Only once that she knew about.
