Re: How did your snake get its name?
I have 6 snakes currently! My most recent pics of them are weight pics, ha! Also, my reptile room is pink.... it used to be a nursery room like 20 years ago and we haven't got around to repainting. So, I apologize for the super weird lighting, lol.
My Ball Pythons have phonetic alphabet names:

My Jungle Carpet Python JPEG, because I thought "Jungle Carpet" sounded similar to JPEG. I have to have to place a lid on the bowl I use to weight him, else he'll zoom straight out of there. To be fair, he probably still could, since I don't actually seal the container, but he doesn't know that, so shhhh!

Also, this famous image, known as "soon.jpg," is what made me think of JPEG.

Nibbler : my Cali king. Name is from Futurama. As the name imply, she never turns down a meal, no matter the size or type.
Banana : my banana bp. I got lazy with naming.
Bender : my Children's Python. Name is from Futurama.
All Might : my woma. Name is from Hero Academia. Those eyebrows...
Scruffy : my dumerils boa. Name is from Futurama. Dumerils Latin name means lazy snake. Fitting for Scruffy the janitor.
And yes, I like Futurama.

Re: How did your snake get its name?
Two ball pythons--
One is Dead Pixel (usually call her Pixel), an Enchi, because of the way her pattern looks like pixelation, and the random white scales that look like the dead pixels in a monitor display.
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...m/Nuh76Sql.jpg
The other is Radiogram (Radio), a Mojave, because it looks like he has old-timey tooth x-rays on his sides.

My Cubans are Julio and Carmen. My coral glow is Max Skinner (from the movie A Good Year) so his purple passion girlfriend-to-be is Fannie Chanel. My high white pied is Escobar (cocaine drug lord). My albino is Daisy. My Otay rosy male is Speckles because he has speckles, and his lady friend is Lady. My SD female is a lavender so her name is Peaches, hence her boyfriend is Herb (1970's vocalist duo). Oh, and I have a tessera Corn named Barry Allen (the Flash) because he's fast as He** .
DLena, Your Cuban is awesome! I had a breeding pair (Morticia & Gomez) several years ago and deeply regret giving them up when I reduced my collection. I haven’t seen these available since I gave up my pair. I might be weak if I ever find another Cuban boa available. :P
As for names, the current collection is:
Duncan (female Colombian redtail) - from the character in McBeth...she was supposed to be a he when I got her.
Eli (male normal ball python) - original owner called him Elizabeth, not a girl!, so I shortened it to Eli.
Hudson (male Colombian rainbow) - named after a character in the cartoon Gargoyles.
Merlin (male Solomon Island ground boa) - had a lot of issues adjusting to captivity, getting him to feed, it was ‘magic’ that he survived.
Yin (female hypo corn snake) - one half of a pair of hatchlings that were light and dark, Yin represents the female.
Yang (male corn snake) - second half of the pair, Yang represents the male.
Bullet (unsexed corn snake) - offspring of the above pair, kind of silvery when he first hatched and fast as a bullet.
Buttercup (male albino ball python) - When I first got him, his yellow reminded me of buttercups...unfortunately for him, it stuck.
Piper (female piebald ball python) - The pied piper...hokey, I know.
Belle (female lemonblast ball python) - After Beauty & the Beast, and the character Belle’s pretty yellow dress.
Button (male BEL ball python) - Because he’s cute as a button. Hopefully I’m not emmasculating my male pythons. lol
Artemis (female dragonfly ball python) - She’s a goddess. :D Artemis is a Greek goddess and part of her identity is the goddess of the hunt, the moon, and nature...often represented with an animal.

Oh right! Now I can post about my new girl! Kallari is named after an assassin character from Paragon!
I've been a fan of Paragon and watched it grow since it was in early alpha to open beta. It's dead now unfortunately but that character still holds a special place in my heart <3

You can probably tell, some folks like to follow themes.
Is there a certain book or tv show or movie you like that has some cool characters with cool names?
Maybe you have a favorite band or musical artist??
I always get to know my pets for a bit before naming them. Take your time...

Well, I do have a few down:)
I was thinking of maybe naming him either Coffee Roll or Coffee (my favorite "donut" from Dunkin Donuts), Smokey, or maybe even Skully, since I love Halloween and it's Halloween related.
For artists, I've been contemplating on adding "Avicii" to my list.

All sound good. You do you!!
I personally never ask for name help. It's my pet, and I'm the only one able to get to know him/her. So I wait til a name "jumps out" once I get to know the animal. I always have a few in mind, but I feel like that particular animal will "guide" me towards the right name...if that makes any sense, hahaha!!

Lusiphera- Normal Royal / Ball Python
I had a friend years ago who was getting a male pit mix he planned on naming Lucifer but ended to getting a female and just called her Lucifera. Lucifera was taken on Instagram and so we went with Lusiphera. Those are not my hands by the way.

Really I wanted a name to go with Lusiphera. We picked Ophelia because Phelia and Phera sound nice together. It just turns out our Phelia shares a few traits with Ophelia.

My newest addition, Lan Fan the Japanese rat snake, is named after Lan Fan from Fullmetal Alchemist.
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...920-231196.png
She's a guardian to one of the princes of Xing, and most of the series she's usually somewhere up high, like in trees or on top of buildings, either watching over the prince or trying to find him (he has a habit of running off without his guardians... a lot). She's not much a talker, and when not personally invested in a fight, she's more likely to nope out in favor of following the prince.
So far Lan Fan's pretty similar to her namesake, therein that she's constantly watching and hiding in the shadows, and then darting all over her enclosure.

a lot of ours are named after movies.
rob zombie movies we have Sheri, Firefly and Capt. Spaulding
Letty is from Fast & Furious
Clarice, Hannibal from Silence of the Lambs
Jack & Sally our retics - Nightmare before Christmas
Falkor - Neverending Story
Neo & Trinity (geckos) The Matrix
I know I am missing some. we have too many reptiles....
Other snakes (and a few geckos) are named after generally morbid/spooky stuff like Gorey, Charlie Manson, Specter, Grimm, Gremlin, Creature, Bones, Ouija
Now my other geckos...mostly named after food like Eggs, Bacon Bit, Pork Chop, Triscuit etc.
The baby gargoyles I bred are all days of the week. Monday - Friday.

Re: How did your snake get its name?
This is Claude, my albino pastel spider, named after the scaredy cat in the Looney Tunes cartoons. I've only had him for about a week and a half, but he is by far the most skittish of my bps. If I sit very still, he will eventually move around, but any movement and he is all balled up. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...761b322644.jpg

Re: How did your snake get its name?
This is Dembe (pronounced Dem-bay).
He's a 4 year old male Pastel Fader BP I recently acquired.
Dembe is a character on the show "The Blacklist". He is Raymond Reddington's right hand man and most trusted ally.
Dembe is a man of few words, but when he does speak it is gold. He acts as Raymond's moral compass when Red goes astray. Reddington saved Dembe when he was a child and his loyalty is to the death.
Such a cool character, and the snake is deserving of the name.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9b564ca183.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...86bb4fe610.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ff8082eab8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1e60914abc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0361a00cd2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fa833656d1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7ed3889cde.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...542b2e72fa.jpg

Re: How did your snake get its name?
Noodle, my ratsnake and my very first snake. I know it's a common name, but I got her as a hatchling, she's albino, and she really did look like a little pink noodle.
Spot,my BP. He's a banana and he came with a really cool name from GoT, Aegon (I bought him "used"), but Spot is kinda dopey and docile and cuddly, and it didn't fit him at all. I thought about Freckles but the kids said that was a really stupid name for a snake, so I made it even stupider and named him Spot, after Data's cat from Star Trek.
Lucy is my daughter's BP and she named her after I Love Lucy. And it doesn't fit her at all- she's a really big grump, bites sometimes, and hisses too.
I wanted names for the snakes that were friendly and funny, so my non-snake-liking friends might not be as afraid or turned off by them. So far it's worked and I've had several converts. Noodle has her own fan club on my Facebook page and when we have our big wedding in January, several people have asked that somehow Noodle is part of the ceremony! :rofl:

Re: How did your snake get its name?
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:

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!

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).

Toref(et) went back to her old home and is doing great. It wasn't a good fit.
The new guy, Jeff Shemesh, is an awesome fit though!
He's blonde and blue eyed like my best friend, Jeff, and like Jeff Ronne, who's been a mentor to me with boas. Shemesh means "sun" in Hebrew.
Here's Jeff. He's a VPI T+ Sunglow, Motley, and Jungle, BI.

Re: How did your snake get its name?
All my pets have magick/mythic related names, and so I knew that her name would have to follow the same theme.
We wound up going with Sahira, which is the Arabic word for Sorceress. :)
At some point I am hoping to obtain a female BEL, which I will name Beltaine (hehe get it? BELtaine? LOL)
I am currently in the process of obtaining a super black pastel male which I will name Shruikan. For those who don't recognize that name, it was the name of the massive black dragon from the Inheritance Cycle. If you haven't ever read those books, I HIGHLY recommend them. Any fantasy lover will love them.

Re: How did your snake get its name?
My story is so long lol!
I wanted a yellow bp and I wanted the name to be something space related. When I got my snake, I had never seen one like him and he looked like he came from out of this world so I knew it had to be space related! I went through many names until I came across Cassini. It's a spacecraft that explored Saturn and its moons. My snake was yellow, the spacecraft was yellow, Saturn is yellow, so it stuck. Also Saturn is my favorite planet and it has rings, which plays into the next part of his name.
He has a giant white spot on his head. It looks like a halo, so his second name is corona which means "halo or crown". So his name means "Saturn's Crown" We call him CC and I love his name. He is getting bullied in snake school though bc his second name is corona. (I named him way before the virus existed LOL)

I named my Pastel Yellowbelly Saffron. It means Yellow Flower. My Hypo Harliquin boa is named Harley Quinn for obvious reasons. Those are the only ones where any thought was put into it.

Samantha was named after my tattoo artist. She's the best!
Anna was named after Anna Karenina, though her full name is Anna Lisa.
