Do you name your snakes?

I name all my pets just something I do...

I figured since they are "Royal" pythons, I chose to name mine after great rulers or use various names that royalty are addressed by. My list for futrure males will be Pharoah, Alexander, Hannibal, Khan, Attila, and Ceasar. Any females will be Cleopatra, Catherine, and Joan of Arc. Unless I end up with a big fat female Blood python. She will either be Oprah, Kirstie, or Rosie... :rofl:

I name every single one that we keep. There is one named 23, but that's because we decided late that we were going to keep him, and we got REALLY used to calling him 23...so it stuck. lol

To amuse ourselves, most of our snakes are named after deities (like Aten and Persephone). Some are named after fictional characters. It's easier to keep track of them with names than it would be with just numbers or codes.

I only have one snake, but If I were to have a huge room full of them, they would all have names. I like to give my pets pretentiously cute, aristocratic names: Pennyworth for my normal baby ball and Percival for my Betta fish. :3

Funny, I was just wondering about something similar... I was thinking about posting a poll regarding how MANY snakes you name, before you give up. :D I only have three so far, and they all have names - but I'm curious how it goes when you have like 20+.

P.S. I was going with a Biblical theme, since it started with Delilah and then Tobias. But when I got my new female, she just screamed "Mona" to me, so the theme already fell apart... LOL.

lol i got a bunch more coming so i gotta start thinking of names asap

I don't do well with numbers. I think a name makes the snake easier to talk about. 'Did persephone eat today?' is a lot easier to ask than 'Hey, did that normal female A243B eat today?' :P

My Daughter named my snakes:gj:
