when i got my first ever snake (yellow ratsnake) i was probably about 10. i had a dream that i was holding it and the skin split open in the middle and slid of both ends. i think it was cuz i had never seen a snake shed and one was coming up. it shed a few days later.

congrats on finding a good name for your snake. i still call my snakes "the first one i got" or "the biggest one" when im talking to my mom. cuz she doesnt care what their names are. lol
