What do u call these BP's?

ok, very simple poll: what do u call these cutie BP's?

do u call them Ball Pythons? may by u refer to them by the fancy name of Royal Pythons? or the even fancier title of Python regius? maybe something else?

vote now.

:)

Ball pythons, but I do like the proper name.

I prefer "royal" pythons (or Python regius) but fear no one would know what I'm talking about, lol...& I hate to hear them called "beepers"! Just not dignified. :colbert:

Those who aren't into snakes sometimes think you said 'bald' python when you actually said 'ball'... :weirdface

i prefer to call them beeps. :)

I say balls

I started to say "I like balls." but that just sounds wrong. :P:D

I normally say Ball pythons, but I love calling them royal pythons too. :)

I don't call them beepers, but I must say, mine doesn't really convince me that they're a dignified snake. Yesterday he was too "dignified" to actually strike his food properly so he booped it with a closed mouth, then sat back and waited until my hand got tired so I laid the food down for him and he could just lazily scooch his face along it. He also took some mid-eating breaks. He won that battle this week, but is it dignified? lol

I call them Ball Pythons sometimes, but I mostly call them little noodles :3

Ball python... or on occasion, attack sausages.

Booper noodles

I just say "I got a ball". :P

Well I never said they deserve to be called royal pythons :rolleyes: but I like how it sounds & gives them something to aspire to.

And when you're used to calling them "royal pythons", it's not a big jump to "royal pain". :halohorn: haha!

I call em royal pythons

Usually call them Ball Pythons, but recently Paarthurnax has taken up the nickname as the house "Lap Sausage".

I call them ball pythons, though I hate the name and much prefer royal python.

My kids call them "meep-moops".

I almost sprayed my computer monitor with the coffee in my mouth when I read them described as "attack sausages!" lololol

But they've always been, and always will be, Royals to me.

<><Peace

I like the Royal name, however for ease of communication here in the States I call them Ball Pythons.

Considering python regius is the proper name, I much prefer Royal Python. Ball python does sound like a cute, fun pet though, and that was my thought when I first heard of this species.

I call them 'headaches' as that is what they become as adults when it comes to feeding lol.

Royal pythons !!!

Why call them Balls - because they ball up ??

Well in that case I'll rename my Thai Bamboo Ratsnake to Psychotic Un-hinged Ratsnake ..
