Naming my new black blood! (DUW)

I went with Nero...

...c'mon folks, he burned down Rome! :D

Erebus/Erebos. The greek god of darkness and shadow, son of Chaos (god of nothingness, from which all else sprang), and brother to Nyx (goddess of darkness and night)

Another thought...

Get to know him, personality-wise, and name him based on that instead of appearance. Sumatran short-tailed pythons have GOBS of personality once they get settled in & grow up a bit...you may find him naming himself eventually! :)

Looked at the pictures, and the first thing that came to mind was Jaguar... i know its a cat, but i think it had something to do with the pattern, maybe, maybe not, i'm allowed to have my own opinion...lol!!!

Well... I think you're right, he needs a name based on his personnality. When I checked on him today I found that he had poo'd so he needed another cleaning along with his tub. Well, lets just say I did manage to dodge the strikes today, but he is quite the nippy little bugger. Luckily since he's so short he didn't quite have the necessary range to land any. However, after the initial strike fest as I was removing "his" hides and waterbowl, he became quite docile and took to handling during the time it took to clean his cage.

Another name I like is Keegan, meaning "little fiery one". I'm going to wait a bit longer to make it official, but I'm pretty sure it's either going to be Keegan or Nero.

here's a quick pic I snapped while waiting for my sister to finish cleaning the tub. (hehe, it was either that or hold the nippy snake! lol)

Jeez D, you crack me up at times!

Well, I have named him Nero. I really liked the name from the start, it seems to fit his personality quite well, but what finalized it was when I was talking to him (yes, i talk to my snakes), I accidentally him addressed him as Nero and so it shall stay. LOL.

luv ur new sig ben!

Thnx Melanie!
