    names

    Just curious what other people name their snakes.

    mine is named AOD - angel of death reason was when I first got him his favorite thing to do was bite, bite and bite. He has calmed down now thank god and doesnt bite me anymore... or he is just screwing with me and waiting for the right time for a good chomp when I dont expect it.

    Re: names

    The BP I have: Monty. Little did I know that a) Tons of pythons were named Monty b) "He" was in fact a "she", but I didn't feel like changing it.

    Northern Pine Snake: Checkers, because of his white/black boxed pattern, and that he is very fast, and that he likes to check everything out (curiosity to the point of annoyance).

    Boa Constrictor: Crush, most of the reasons obvious. The other reasons were his deep orange color (JimiSnakes salmon pastel), and the fact that I had replaced his humidity generator bottle with a 2L Crush bottle and it just struck me as a good name all around.

    Re: names

    I use a couple different naming conventions.

    I always wanted a "bigger" snake named Kitty, partly because it'd be funny. Therefore when I got my coastal carpet, that's the name that went to her. I hope to pair her up with a jaguar eventually and produce kittens

    My other pets are named either after futurama characters (Morbo, Dr. Zoidberg, Edna, etc), because of identifying physical characteristics (Pongo the dalmation crested gecko, RG/Red Gecko, Sandy), or because of events (Accident).

    Re: names

    My boys are Morris (aka. Mr. Nibbles), George, Floyd and Winston. My girls are Lois, Ursula, Shirley, Octavia, Glinda, Nancy and Mrs. Weasley.

    Mostly I pick names that I find funny for some obscure reason or another. Though I figure Mr. Nibbles is pretty self explanatory.

    Re: names

    I have Lemonade (albino), FedEx (het peid), Snow (pied), Bruce (mojave), Tax (lesser), Refund (lesser), Sunny (lemon pastel), Juliette (normal...and now 'Romeo'), Cleopatra (spider), Wilson (Bredli's), and Olivia (IJ carpet).

    I didn't name most of them. My 5 year old son and 11 year old nephew claim that honor. lol. I named FedEx (because FedEx lost her during shipping...), Tax, and Refund. I rarely refer to any of them by their names except for Lemonade because she is my son's favorite.

    As for the name 'Snow,' I actually have THREE animals in my care named 'Snow' currently- a python, a chicken, and a breeder rat. Apparently 5 year olds aren't original and if it is white or has white on it, there's a good chance it will get named 'Snow.'

    Re: names

    I have a little bit of a battlestar galactica theme going on except for Donut and Eero. Eero is after Eero Saranin and Donut is just, well, Donut.
