    Need some name help..For a rather ugly boa
    Ive got a boa that is, to put it bluntly, very ugly..Some kind of hypo gone wrong...So I need a name for her(female)..I was thinking Grub but wanted some other ideas. Thanks. She is just 200 grams so still quite young and fairly mellow..I will try and get a pic up.

    Yes, pictures please. I gotta see this boa.

    I'm throwing the name Goblin into the ring.

    I'm very curious for a pic also, but I'd hate to see you give her a complex about her looks, so maybe an "opposite" name would be more tactful? Like the way ppl
    who are huge get nick-named "Tiny". Because so many people fear & dislike snakes, when I took in a yearling boa (BCI) many years ago because no one wanted
    this ornery thing that hissed & BIT people at every chance, I named her "Snookums" (as in "Baby Snookums") because (A) it made people giggle (including me,
    picturing her in a baby bonnet...) & (B) because it reminded me that she was just a scared baby boa, not "The Evil One Incarnate". :D Guess what? After I
    worked with her some, she grew up completely sweet, & never bit me even once. So please pick a good (positive) name, not an "ugly" one. Negative names
    influence YOUR subconscious too, you know... ;)

    Name her something nice so she feels pretty! I'm also super curious to see this boa. I actually can't imagine any snake being too ugly, they are all cute in their own way :D

    If you're sticking with the ugly theme...How bout Kim, Kourtney or Khloe??

    The good thing about hypos is they might get nicer looking as they age. I bet it's dark and muddy and speckly? I know some really don't look all the great. I hope she turns out nicer in the long run, looking forward to the pick of the 'ugly duckling'.
    You could name her Swan? If she's all speckly, maybe PepperPotts? I also do like Grub heh

    Here as some name ideas, a picture would help in picking out a name too as I like to see the colors and whatnot while naming.
    Medusa, Fluffy, Cuddles, Banshee, Athena, Minerva, Xena, River, Mystique, Trinity, Zazu, Bella, Nessie, Precious, Squiggles, Helga, Matilda, Ouroboros. Well that's all I can think of, hope my little list helps. :)

    It was my fault as I assumed she would be a darker normal, with more contrast. Im not a big fan of hypos (assuming shes a hypo, Im not that good)..She is growing on me though
