Hey from Ohio!

[DAYNASEASHELL]

Hey ya'll!
Let me introduce myself, I'm Dayna. A 44 yr old Mom of two, a son 18 and a daughter, 10.
My son introduced me to noodles just this past winter when he said "Mom, I want a Ball Python". Me "A WHAAAAAAT??Have you LOST your ever lovin mind??? a SNAKE? In my HOUSE? NO.. just NO."
Fast forward to February this year,
"Mom, will you take Court (his gf) and I to a Reptile show in Cleveland?"

Me "Sigh, I suppose" walks into reptile show, thinks ..omg thats a lot of snakes! kids leave me alone to wander snake infested world by myself!

Walks past a dealer with a Aussie accent thats says "Here, you want to hold 'em?" (meaning this yellow colored ball python adult male)

Me "I dunno"

Him "Here (squirts hand sanitizer then plop's noodle into my hands)

Me "Wow, he's so soft"

Dealer "I'll be back, just hold for me for a few"

Me "Okay" and so begins my love of noodles.
Although the Dealer did finally come back and kept asking if his had bit me yet, I'm like.. no your snake hasn't bit me. Not quite certain why he kept asking that but who knows he was from Oz.
