How did your snake get its name?

This is Socket. My wife has named all our snakes, but this one is hers. She picked this one out at a repticon several months back. She got the name because of his pattern which reminded her of electrical wall sockets. lol

Our albino Honduran milksnake is named Ghost because about a week after we bought him, we realized he was getting ready to shed when we picked him out and that he is actually very brightly colored.

So we named him because when we got him (and when he goes into shed) he looks like he has seen a ghost & gets super pale.

Normal colors:

"Bubblegum" was seriously considered, but a bit too girly for a boy snake.

I named him Sangre. It means Blood in spanish. I named him that because hopefully he will turn Blood red.

Bump for new members and new additions.

I'm committed to having all of my pets' names start with the letter S, so when I got my first snake I ended up picking Saturn. I just liked the sound of it and I already had a tattoo of the planet Saturn anyway. Then Sable came along - her name was originally Nagini from when she was someone's class pet, and I renamed her that because she's just a normal brown BP.

I have a very long list of other S names coming up for future snakes!

Just gonna do my first, because 30 is a bit much. Named this guy Alexander, because he's great.

We should be receiving her soon. The pictures are compliments of Don Soderberg at South Mountain Reptiles, who hatched her.

Katie named her Solana because she is a sunglow and soooooo bright! Solana means "Sun" in Spanish.

He's purple, and I loved the Imagination ride as a kid at Epcot in Disney World. So, I named him after the main character, Figment.

Our brand new addition, Behira, a 1 year old female Boa (BCI), Ivory Ghost Morph.

She has a light tone to her (pics to post soon) and blueish grey eyes. So Katie, my fiancé, wanted to name her, something that meant "light," and "clear." That is Behira in hebrew.

Also of note, my geckos, all females, and different morphs, are Carra (she looks like a carrot - bright orange - she's a sunglow), and Kayla, and Cleo. No reasoning behind the last two, they just sounded good with Carra.

Finally, Frank, my blue tongue skink. His blue tongue reminded us of "Old Blue Eyes," Frank Sinatra.

I also had a Bearded Dragon, George, who we lost last year at almost 11. He was named after George Carlin, my favorite comedian.

I realized I need to update here. Up to 13 reptiles now. FINAL NUMBER!

Feliz - Venezuelan Dwarf BCC. Feliz means happy in Spanish, and this species is know for being calm and inquisitive. Feliz is no exception. He's a total sweetie but a fantastic eater.

Yafe - Albino Carpet Python (50% IJ and 50% Darwin). Yafe means handsome in Hebrew. He is incredibly handsome with orange and peach tones in addition to his yellows. He also has the most amazing reddish eyes with great contrast and different shades.

Ferry - Chewie Lizard. Named him after Ferdinand Porsche, also known as Ferry. Porsche is my favorite car.

Ezzy - Leachie. She's mostly green and Katie named her Ezzy, or Esmeralda, for green in Spanish.

Toref - Freckled Tree Monitor (Varanus Tristis Orientalis). Toref means predator/devourer in Hebrew. He's like a little Raptor, but also climbs like crazy and is quick! Maybe should have named him Peter Parker (AKA Spiderman).

while not a snake this is Uno...she has a microeye and no real crests but she is a lovely pet.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5882d79977.jpg
