    I may get some crap for this, but I don't have names for my BP's. Its not like they will come to me when I call them. My kids on the other hand have taken the liberty to give them all names.

    I name all my ball pythons after Adventure Time characters. You can see them down there in my signature.

    Also, if I ever get into breeding California Kings, they'll all be Downton Abbey characters. And all my Crested Geckos are fruits/veggies/legumes. ^_^

    My king is Jörmungandr. One of Loki's children in Old Norse Mythology, also called the World's Serpent.
    He was thrown into the waters of Midgard (our plane) by Odin where he grew so large he encircled the Earth and bit his own tail. The legend is that when he releases his tail, the world will end.

    We had a corn snake way back that we'd named Lieutenant Dan (I have a huge love of Forrest Gump). So we kept with the theme and named our first 2 balls Jenny & Forrest. Our mojave is Allan, from Hangover (we were on a hangover kick). Mufasa & Sarabi....the lion king, obviously lol. FAVE DISNEY MOVIE EVER! I have a bird named Zazu haha. Lastly, there's Charlotte is our spider (Charlotte's Web influenced).

    Re: snake names

    I'd attach a picture, but I don't trust the mobile app haha.

    Tali has a few alien heads so I wanted to go scifi themed and I'm a huge fan of Mass Effect and Tali'Zorah vas Normandy is one of my favorite characters so that's how Tali got her name. I already picked my next ones name, it was gonna be Talis but I changed my mind when I saw her. Its feom another video game (one of my other favorites), Shadow of the Colossus. Argo

    My first snake that was actually mine (as opposed to the one I grew up with) is Ryuu, with means dragon spirit in Japanese. I stick with themes with different pets, so all my pet snakes are Japanese, my cats are Greek, the rats are Hindi, and mice are gemstones (only breeders that I become attached to get names for the rodents!). The rescues generally already have names, but I sometimes rename them. Oliver I renamed because he was abandoned and starved (like Oliver Twist ), and Noni was just being called "no name" at first because he was also abandoned.

    My ghost corn is Yokai, which means ghost or spirit, and my tangerine honduran milksnake is Kuroji, which is actually a mash up of the words for black and orange, "kuro" and "orenji".

    snake names

    My BPs name is Boots. When I first got him I could not think of what to name him, and my mom kept talking me she was gonna get a nice pair of snakeskin boots out of him one day. So Boots just stuck!
