Some name suggestions for a new banana pastave!

At the beginning of the month I received my very first ball python. He is a banana pastave that I got from Garrick at royal constrictor designs. His hatch date was 12/9/16. When I got him he was 87g, and today I weighed him before his 3rd feeding, and now he is 100g. I currently have him on F/T hopper mice, and he has had zero problems eating so far. Well, except today he accidentally ate a piece of reptibark :hmm:. Here are 3 pictures of him that I got before recieving him from Garrick, and 3 other cell phone photos of him since I've had him. I apologize for the quality, I am no photographer. Any chance you guys could help with some name suggestions?

Congrats. Always a huge plus when they readily eat frozen thaw.

He's a beauty!

Hey congrats again!!! Great to hear your little guy is doing well! Did he seem fine after eating a bit of Reptibark? I heard placing feeders over a paper towel can help with that. Also awesome your little noodle is f/t ready! I think Garrick starts them on f/t correct?

As for names, here are the ones that come to mind;
Sundae, Sinbad, Cecil, Charlie, Sir Hiss, Toffee, Thor, Henryk (or Henry), Creme Brulee and Pancake.

When he had it in his mouth after he got the hopper down, he bit down real hard, and I heard a crunching sound. Hopefully it was the reptibark and not his little teeth. Other than that he seems completely fine. Got the piece of bark sorted out and went straight into his hide. A few hours later I noticed him peeking out of his hide and he still looked fine. Im fairly certain that he wont have any issues. Next time ill feed him away from his water bowl. He missed the hopper on his first strike and ended up taking a dive into his water bowl. I guess that stressed him out and he just balled up and looked like he was scared after that. I held the hopper over the heat lamp for a min to give him a break and to keep the mouse warm. Then offered it again and he took it.... But he "killed" it in his water bowl, so that made it wet and helped the reptibark stick.

As far as Garrick feeding live or F/T, I am not certain. I read somewhere on his site that he use to feed F/T but now does live because its easier for the quantity of snakes he has. But I don't know if that means he starts them off on live.

I just bought a youngin from Garrick and she is easily and readily eating f/t from literally day one. He's a beaut! Congrats!

Thank you!

Garrick just posted a video on youtube today discussing noobs buying snakes and wanting hatclings. He goes on to say he starts his baby snakes on live crawler or hopper mice for the first couple feeds. He says they start off timid eaters and after the first few meals they become veracious feeders, and at that point he starts feeding F/T. So it makes sense as to why snakes from him are eating F/T so effortlessly.

I also like food names. For a male banana, i'd go with Foster, or maybe Daiq (short for Daiquiri, pronounced "Dack"). What about Galliano?

Hmmmm, I have no idea why I have been struggling so hard with a name. I've been calling him banana, but how many banana BPs are named banana? My guess is a LOT! I was gonna name him stitch because my GF loves Disney movies, and stitch is one of my favorite Disney characters, but IDK. I appreciate the ideas! I think im gonna give it till his next feeding to make a decision.
