    I've got a few with names. One had a name before hand, and I kept it.

    They earn they're name, I don't usually give it to em.

    Re: Anyone else NOT name their snakes?
    None of my snakes have names. I only name a pet that can know it's name. Of course I recognize that even if you don't name them you will refer to them as "Mojave male #1" or "Spider female #2" and are for all intents and purposes naming them anyway.

    One of mine has a name. He was my first and is tamer than a puppy dog! His name is Bob. All my others I just refer to as "my spider", "my pastel" stuff like that.

    Re: Anyone else NOT name their snakes?
    Most have names, some don't. Sometimes one will have a certain look or do something that is memorable and I'll give them a name like 'Sanchez' or 'Lonesome George', others I name after the person I got them from like 'Mike' or 'Luke' or 'Sean1', 'Sean2', 'Sean3', 'Sean4', 'Sean5' (well, you get the picture...)

    No, they don't come when I call them, but it's just easier for me to refer to them by a name then by a description.

    Most of ours have names. I don't even want to think of the headache I would have trying to keep them all straight if they were all "2006 Normal Female 1" and "2008 Enchi Male 2" and what not. The named ones seem to stand apart more in my head.

    ya for kids it could be fun, but I cant call a snake by its name and hes like oh hey im coming hold on. Like a dog. If I had several I might just for reference when talking to other people.

    I don't name my snakes. I use a numeric system to keep track of them. Same as already mentioned above.
