Golf litter? I just can't imagine a dog named 5 iron... LOL :D:D:D

All of my snakes are named!

The Balls:
Malia - 07 normal female
Dia - 07 pastel female
Gembi - 08 pastel female
Arana - 08 spider female
Copper - 08 normal female
Kenya - 08 normal female
India - 08 normal female (has a dot on her head, sister to Kenya)
Mojo - 08 mojave male
Kip - 08 cinnamon male
Inyo - 09 pinstripe female (breeder named)
Raj - 09 het caramel albino (breeder named)
Lind - 09 het caramel albino (breeder named)
My lesser female isn't here yet, and she's not yet named.

Brazilian Rainbow Boa: Ajax

Albino Columbian Red Tail: One-Eyed Willie (he had an eye removed)

The Corns:
Sunny Tequila - Amel male
Voodoo Tiki - Motley snow female
Margarita - Creamsicle female

Of course! I currently have 6 now, most of them named after pro-Starcraft players. When I get more (either via clutches or purchasing more) I am going to start using names of ancient Greek, Roman, or Egyptian gods

Actually I probably won't bother naming my hatchlings that I intend to sell,just descriptive

I don't plan to name snakes that are for sale either, but I might by accident, much in the way puppies end up with litter names that you pray won't stick! LOL (Things like "Fat Fawn and White Male, Left Side Spot Girl, Big White Blaze Boy, Brindle Ear Girl, etc which turn into nicknames like Fatty, Whitey, Lefty, Big Girl, and Ear-Mark)

I love naming all my pets; even when I had a tankful of tropical fish I named every one.

I can see how remembering names can become a hassle after a certain number though!

My fiancee and I are currently still debating (read: fighting) over who thought of the better name for my BP. :P

Most of my animals do have "proper" names, I do have a couple called, "Het Albino female" and "Het axanthic male" how ever :)

Speaking of the "golf clutch" and the "movie clutch" names, my latest batch of foster kittens were named using the same strategy. They're the flower litter; Lily, Daisy, Violet, Cherry Blossom, and Petunia. (Awful names, but I suppose it serves the purpose. I've nicknamed them anyways.)
