1.2 Normals
0.1 Mystic
0.1 Pastel Poss Het Ghost
1.0 Banana Bumblebee

My enchi I have had since September is still nameless.  We have gotten two snakes since then, which both of them have names.

Re: Choosing a Name
I used to have a hard time. I solved the naming problem though. I use pre assigned abreviations and numbers for multiples of the same type.

Re: Choosing a Name
Naming can be very hard. I have a corn snake that I've had since August and I kept calling her FNU (fa-new...as in first name unknown) and then eventually I just started calling her FNU all the time and now it stuck. I recently declared that be her name. Good luck naming her!

Re: Choosing a Name
It took me about a week to name my Cinny. I just spend time with them and look at their patterns, colors and personality. I was looking through posts on here and saw a snake named 'Isis' and BOOM it hit me. Serenity is her name. No idea where that came from but it fits and I'm happy

Once I had acquired multiple snakes, and knew more would eventually join the collection, I decided to pick themes... most of my Ball Pythons now have Shakespearean names (Juliet, Orlando, Rosalind, Cordelia, etc), while the Colubrids and other pythons mostly have names from children's books & movies (Scout, Wednesday, James, Charlotte, etc). Sometimes I'll go off the theme if a perfect name comes up, but otherwise I just pick one from the respective theme!
P.S. I'm a librarian and one of my degrees is in English Lit, so that's why I went with literary names.
