How did you pick your snakes' name?

[jbo901]

I was just curious how everybody picked their snakes names.

When it came time for me to name my 1st BP, I found it harder than naming my other pets. Anyway, I ended up naming him Kaa, even though hes a BP not an Indian Python like in The Jungle Book. Also, in the original Jungle Book (not Dinsny's), Kaa was a good guy who helped Baloo save Mowgli from the monkeys & In Eygptian history, Kaa was a king.

I enjoy naming my herps human names, like my large male Bp is Benny, but i have a toad named matthew. I think it is funny to reffer to them as "human names". But in general i don't name my herps and i am willing to let other people name them, but i don't reffer to them as that name, i will same the big male, or "the little guys" (my juvi RES).

We use the names of characters in books we like. We do that with all of our animals.
Right now I'm trying to come up with a great couples name. "Scarlett and Rhett" is most obvious, as they are my all time fav literary couple, but I'm still trying to think of others. I have less than a week to decide! :eek:

well my fist one raphael is a biblical reference meaning archangel, the others are more from their personalites, oscar(the grouch), cpt (one eyed) jack, honey (our own AOL snake), and spot(on head).

My kenyan sand boa (Seraph) is named after the angel that was cast out of heaven, and into hell.


My granite python (Burzum) is named after and old school norwegian black metal band. It was a 1-man band whom it's only member killed Euronymous, a leading member of another black metal band named Mayhem.

Wow, you obviously put a lot of thought into your snakes names, I like them.

Our BP is named Cleo, short for Cleopatra, a nod to the lore behind the latin name python regius (royal python) that Queen Cleopatra used to wear ball pythons around her wrists.

Our Suri is name Carmen because of her red coloration and that it's Spanish name (and Carmen is a South American boa).

Mine is named "Tomorrow" in a Zulu translation. (Kisasa) I wanted to name her "Tomorrow" because I had to wait SO long to get her...and she is my hope for all my "someday dreams" about beautiful ball pythons.
