this is the new baby... any name suggestions?

Hey, this is my new little guy/girl. He/she was at perfect pets in a cage with another little guy and when I picked him/her up he/she hissed... a lot! it was sooo cute. like he/she was going to scare me or something. if he/she bit it might tickle but I doubt that he/she would. Also, his/her markings were sooo awsome! by the time I had decided to get him/her hed/shed calmed down. this was after a week of him/her getting used to his/her cage (today). I don't know if its a boy or a girl (if you couldn't tell) because he/she was too small to sex. so I'm opening this up to name suggestions.

Ripley, for all those cool "Alien" heads...=)

I am with Cassandra on this one............ something along the lines of Ghost or Casper. You know everyone is different, Some of us see alien heads I see lil ghosts on his/her sides. Good luck with your baby and CONGRATS!!

Beautiful snake, how bout calling her Harmony?
Penney

U should call him/her ID:45879856889 or ocheeva.... or to keep it simple.... bill/jill lol... congrats on ur new bp he/she looks great!

Lovely little bp, congrats on getting him/her. As far as sexing, if you have access to an experienced herp vet or a good breeder they can sex it for you right away. As far as I know they can be safely popped for sexing at a very young age but best to check this out with the experienced breeders here.

Beautiful kid. Uhm...I like the nice little colorations.


As far as a name? I'm on this Greek fix, so I'd say Achilles for a male and Alexandra for a girl.

I can't quite think of name, but his/her head looks comparitively large to the rest of his/her body. I know someone with a big head named Zach, so I guess you could name him/her Zach. If you get really desperate though, you could name him/her "Him/Her" because that's what you kept calling him/her.

Exactly! That's why only a few hours of pipping, we have people posting their exact counts. ;) If they said it was too young to tell, then they meant they didn't have a clue. ;)

You never know. It could work. I know someone who named their dog D-O-G (dee-o-gee). Sounds like a real name.

thanks for all the suggestions. I took em to be sexed at a pet store I really trust but they the probe was stuck at four. apparently four and over is a female and four and under is a male... or something like that. oh well. I'll figure it out and I'll be sure to post the sex and the name that I chose w

Thats actually completely backwards. Where did you go to do this and who told you that?

Females usually probe around 3 1/2 scales, males are much easier to sex as the probe just keeps going and going and usually probe around as much as 7-8 scales.

I was about to say that. Thank you, Brad!

I may have gotten it backwords (my mistake) but it was at perfect pets.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! When did they start probing?

Seeing the conditions in their reptile closet, I wouldn't think they'd know the difference between a ball python and a cornsnake. One time I was in there and said, hey, you know that reptiles need water right? Pointing out that every water dish in the room was bone dry and looked like no one had been in there in days.

my mistake. it was Noah's. got my pet stores confused.
