🐢 The Turtles knew you work at a reptile zoo, which is also an adoption center for reptile lovers.
🐢 What they didn't know, is that you actually have a few reptiles at home. More specifically, snakes.
🐢 You even walk around the city with a snake softly wrapped around your neck (not suffocating you, just chillin') to let people take some pictures.
🐢 When you came down to the Lair with April and Casey, your snake hid under your sweater because it never seen the place and it smells other reptiles (Hinting the turtles)
🐢 They immediately stopped right in their tracks when they see you watching TV with a snake.

🦋 When he first saw your pet snake, he was screaming eternally. He's still not over that moment he panickly sliced Warren Stones in half.
🦋 He would ask you questions on how your so chill on letting a carnivorous creature with no appendages slither all over you, that's when you remind him that you work at an establishment that is full of reptiles; carnivorous or not, this is really a example of your everyday work.
🦋 When ever it's feeding time, Leo would cover his eyes however, snakes takes their time on eating their prey. So, after a while he gets used to your pet devouring their prey (It still makes him uneasy but he eventually grew a pair)
🦋 If your snake is a python by any chance, it would take even longer for him to get comfortable. But, after a few baby steps (more like alot-) you find him asleep with your giant noodle, who is protectively wrapping themselves around him.
🦋 One time, you snuck him to your job's incubator's room to show him something special (And it's also your night job if you volunteer). He watches the cute baby snakes and other baby reptilians hatching out of their eggs, when he noticed that some reptiles has some stripes on their eyes; it might be the most emotional moment you ever seen him.

🌹 This guy is so careful around your snake, it's really almost unnecessary. But, when your noodle flicked its tounge at him to smell his scent it actually starts hanging so comfortably on his spikes that are on his shoulders.
🌹 Raph got queasy when you begin feeding your snake some mices and a few mouses, you told him he doesn't have to watch but he really wants to.
🌹 He wants to be completely chill around them, he really do. But, it's hard for him to even watch.
🌹 If your snake is a python, that reptile is going to love his rough scales. Especially if he joins your giant noodle in a tub full of water so that its shedding can be removed easily.
🌹 After a while, Raph lets your snake climb around him like a tree.

☂️ You. Have made a mistake for bringing your noodle. Why? because Donnie is now curious on your pet snake.
☂️ He will bombard you with questions that you don't know the answers to, you have to tell him to make a small list of questions just so your boss can answer them correctly. And that's no easy pickin' either.
☂️ Since then, you would send him pictures of a brand new snake species that first bred in your job and he just freaked the heck out in excitement.
☂️ If he witnessed your snake is actually a python, yeah he's going to be concern but he ease up to it quicker than Leo and Raph.
☂️ He made a special jungle gym for your long noodle.

🍊 Oh. Mah gawd. When he saw your snake, he didn't stop in his track in fear or concern. No, he saw your snake in COMPLETE BEAUTY! ☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆
🍊 By the time you walk up to him and let your snake slither he's tracing the colored shapes on it's scales just, utterly praising it.
🍊 Since then, he drawing noodle boys in all kinds of colors. He even made a portrait of your pet snake.
🍊 If Mikey sees your snake is actually a python, it'd be too heavy for him to let it rest on his shoulders and the python is fully aware of that. So, it just coil around him, acting as a resting spot for the small turtle.
🍊 He's definitely going to take some selfies with your snake and you while wearing flower crowns.
