I was also a Daytona virgin. I had a great time, but mostly kept to myself. Didn't meet too many people.

One thing that surprised me is that I'm not really interested in ball python morphs anymore. Seeing them in person had the opposite effect on me as it does for most people - I kind of lost interest. They aren't so spectacular as the photos make them out to be. I'd rather have a normal any day of the week. There were one or two exceptions, but for the most part ... morphs are not as great as I thought they were. Go figure.
