What inspired your herps names?

All of my ball pythons were named from a movie. Princess Mononoke.

I've had to look up cast and crew names by this point, since there weren't that many characters with names, but I hit most of the main characters, with the exception of a few that just didn't fit for a snake to me..

My husband started out with a spider who of course got named Bitsy. Then he got a super pastel to make bees and I picked out Charlotte. His busy patterned pinstripe I helped name Freckles. And his newest baby, a lesser male, I finally named Romeo because hubby could not come up with anything.

The inspiration for our snake names is all over the place.

Our first normal is named Indiana...I decided on that name long ago when I first decided I wanted a snake. After Indiana Jones (a favorite character of mine).

Lillith, another normal, we named after a Supernatural (tv show) character, not because she resembled the character, but because the name sounded very snake-like.

Loco, our spider, came with that name, but it fits him.

Pandora (pastel) just sounded nice.

Lois and Clark, our 100% het pied couple. Named because when we finally have a pied it'll be our super snake!

Zuri, another normal, also adopted and already named.

Boone, our Pastel hed red axanthic we bought under the impression that we were buying a mojave, and in the video game Fallout: New Vegas, which I was playing at the time, you are in the Mojave desert and you have a sidekick named Boone. He isn't a mojave, but the name stuck.

How deadly my snake is when he strikes at prey! Stryker :)

Most of the names of my snakes came from Stargate Atlantis but I don't even call my snakes by these names. I have come up with nicknames for them. I don't call any of my pets by their rightful names because they are each individuals and I just give them nicknames. If I told you the nicknames you would laugh at me hysterically, lol.

Our first snake, Ella, was named that because I wanted something simple but elegant and pretty - 2 descriptions that aren't usually appied to snakes although I think they should be.

I picked Jasper for my male boa because it just seemed to fit him.

Hunter was already named and I thought it was appropriate.

Peaches came about with a bit more creativity. I was trying to think of something along the lines of Ella when I told my parents I'd bought my first boa. My dad thought I was crazy (again) as he HATES snakes. But we have a pretty special relationship. When I was a kid, his special nickname for me was Peaches and he still sometimes calls me that. So I named my baby boa Peaches after my dad. When I told him, he hollered "Why'd you do that?!?!?"
