Like several others, I ran into wyrms at AnthroCon. A friend had one and explained the basics after I questioned her on the thing hanging from her bag. I managed to hatch a handful of adorable teacups over the course of the convention. They have been lovely companions as I've traveled home, and they get lots of petting.
Everyone I've come in contact with has been super wonderful, and I look forward to being a part of the community!
