Hello from a new snake family!

Oh man, I'm totally anticipating him to be suddenly "busy" when it comes time for cleaning!

As for the name, it's not really a big story but it's just random, haha. Back before Xmas, my son found this YouTube channel called Cute Mario Bros. It's a couple of 20-something guys making little skits with Mario, Luigi and other various plush toys. In one video, an elf on the shelf magically appears in their house. Luigi is pressured by the group to name the elf, even though he warns them that the elf is probably evil. He's looking around the room and sees a paper that says Taco Del Mar. That's what Luigi goes with. Turns out the elf goes on a killing spree or something, haha. So my son is walking around calling me Taco Del Mar and I'm like "What??" I came to find out afterwards that it's a chain we don't have here in NY, and Luigi was looking at an old taco wrapper. Then it became a joke between us and thus, it was the logical name for a pet in a 7 year old's mind.

And thanks again for the welcomes!
