    New Russian rat snake (elaphe schrenkii) Need Names
    Got one of my dream snakes;
    A female Russian rat snake, from high yellow lineage. (That wasn't the dream part, just a bonus.)
    She arrived home Wednesday the 31st.
    She is an absolute doll already. I adore her and her little face!

    She's settling in amazingly, took a meal on her second day, and spends most of her time outside of her hides, basking on platforms under her UV.
    I am still waiting a week to handle so she can acclimate.

    I have been trying to come to with names and nothing fits her!! Need help in that regard please!
    Something flowing and pretty, or cute and sweet without being too cutesy.
    Will add pictures to the post soon since I messed it up. ☺️

    She looks like she's having a blast in her new home already- you did a good job, from what I can see. Happy snake! :snake:

    Thank you! She has a large tree for climbing, a hammock and a vertical hide with a platform that she loves to bask in her UV on. Hides on the ground for her as well too, lots of clutter and cover, but she's mainly staying in her vertical spaces. She does seem to love it so far!

    I love how stripey her face is!
    What about Pavlova? A sweet dessert named after a Russian ballerina
