    Whats in a name?
    Okay, so I have my newby vanilla bp, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a name. Half the fun of owning a pet is naming it, so I pass the question off to you guys to try and help me out. I have googled and tried to find a suitable name, however I haven't gotten anywhere.

    Hes a male vanilla bp. It doesn't seem right to call him vanilla bean. I was thinking about naming him Alfredo, as in Alfredo sauce, but it doesn't seem to fit well in my head. lol.

    So, any suggestions? :taz::snake:

    I feel like we are going to need a picture if we are going to get any inspiration for naming it!

    I agree... pictures please! But two names that comes to mind, keeping with the "vanilla" theme, are Custard and Creme Brulee - not sure about that last one, LOL. :D

    Well, looking up vanilla on Wilkipedia, I found this useful info:

    It was first cultivated by a people called Totonac. Sava is the region in Madagascar where most of the current vanilla supply is grown. Melipone is the species of Mexican bee that is the only way vanilla is pollinated naturally.

    Just a few suggestions.

    I was thinking custard as well. That is the first thing that I think of when I hear vanilla.

    Come to think of it, there really isn't any masculine way to name anything after vanilla... go a different route.
