Do you name your snakes?

All of my reptiles are my children, so they all get names! The bearded dragons are named after Dune characters, the GTPs are minerals, and the geckos are just kind of random.

I named my second BP Iridium because he's a very yellow lesser platinum, and Iridium is platinum's "sister metal," and it has a yellow tint to it. I then got an idea for a periodic table theme, and the rest is history! I can have over 100 BPs--all named after elements! I try to match the names/elements with the particular morph of the snake. So far, it's been pretty easy, but it'll get much harder the more snakes I get. Heee.

I currently have Irulan (my first snake, named long before the periodic table idea), Iridium (lesser), Tungsten (VPI Axanthic), Iodine (het VPI Axanthic, nicknamed "Bitey"--guess why), Xenon (woma), Beryllium (het g-stripe), and Palladium (50% het Albino). My Red Axanthic/het Red Axanthic pair will be Ferric (Ferrum, AKA Iron) and Europa (short for Europium, which is used to make the red color in TVs).

I have future morphs already planned out: Zinc & Sodium for BELs, Sulfur & Fluorine for Pastels, Argon & Krypton for Lavender Albinos, etc. It's a ton of fun finding names for them all!

The snakes that I have now, yes. The snakes I intend to hold onto will have names, but if I start selling snakes the ones I intend to sell will not be named.

As for my current names:

Normal: Reese (he moves really fast)
Pastel: Persephone (little head like markings on her side so I used Hade's wife)
Fire: Ginger (red headed person)
Lesser: I don't have him yet and don't know him well enough to name him

Shakti - Normal BP
Asche (A-shh - Old english for "Ash") - Black and white corn snake
Etoku - Bubblegum corn snake

i only have one bp his name is quinten,after my favorite movie maker,but i will have more bp in the future and they will be named.

I don't, my wife does. Once my wife names one, it's a keeper :)

I name allll my reptiles. I have fun doing it! I probably won't name babies I'm going to sell (breeding leopard geckos next season and Sand Boas in a year or two) but the keepers I'll always name. :snake:

My current ones:

My BP: Gordon Freeman (I'm a big fan of the Half-Life games and the game's engine) I either call him Gordon or Mr.Freeman most of the time. ;)

Sand Boas:
Nidhogg
Volos
Juno (though I've considered renaming her Pissy...)

Leopard Geckos:
Solis
Loki
Dagda
Freya
Odin
Vega
Tesla
Sergeant Pepper

I answered "Of course I do!", although, truth be told a couple of them still don't have names yet, but they will once I think of something. I usually have to have the snake a little while before they will "tell" me their name.

Guess I'll include all the names too:
Ball Pythons - Harvey, Willow, Annabelle, and Puck
Corn Snakes - Phoenix and Dahlia
Nic Boas - Pandora and Rocko
Red Tail Boas - Freckles and the other doesn't have a name yet
Leopard Geckos - Pip Squeak, Emilio, Damien, Yuki, Weebl, Kayla, Jodie, Tito, Tessa, Cira, Mage, Deidra, Ada, Bindi, and one male still needs a name
Crested Gecko - Zee
Marbled Gecko - Lump
Desert Horned Lizard - Winston
Red Eared Slider - Niffy

My one personal pet has a name, Ludwig.

In the collection I work with (don't actually own them, just take care of them all!) only a handful of the +/- 200 have names. They get names when they need to go to the hospital and the med records system requires a name or if there is something special about them. For example, "Bogart" the carpet python reminds me of the great actor because he is too cool for school and "Tiny" the Children's python didn't eat for the longest time and is quite small compared to his clutch mates. And then there is "Heart" the Angolan python with a perfect heart on his head, and "Miss Hiss" the mojave BP who is full of 'tude.

I only have one BP...his name is, "Pete the Python".

my beardie has a name and so does my corn snake but to this day i still haven't found a name for my ball python xD
