    What about:
    Elthia, which means healer.
    Kyran, which means beam of light.

    Or I plan on naming my next BP Kali which is the Hindu godess of time and change.

    This site seems to have a nice list of female pet names.

    I like looking up names from foreign mythologies.
    Google search greek mythological names for example and there will be lists of different names.
    You can search that way for many cultures. You'll find some exotic names that way.

    Haha, "Kali" is MY name, lol! And while it is the name of a Hindu goddess, it is also Greek. My father is Greek and my name is a derivative of Kaliopea and it means "flower" or "beauty" in the greek language.

    How about....
    Isis (Egyptian goddess of nature, fertility, and beauty)
    Annis (also of greek origin and means "pure" or "satisfaction")
    Pania (refers to the Earth)
    Matilda (just a fun name that sounds very "snakelike" and elegant)

    Hope this is helpful!

    Nyoka is the swahili word for snake. Everyone thinks ive been super clever naming him.

    As for suggestions, lets see...

    Shesha
    Vasuki
    Takshaka
    Nüwa
    Ophion
    Ahi/Vitra
    Quetzalcoatl

    I have a strong affinity for naming my pythons after mythological creatures or programming languages.
    2.0 Normal ball pythons, Java and Nyoka
    0.0.1 Boa Constrictor Imperator, Hexadecimal
    0.0.1 Snow Corn, Yumi
    0.2 Mutt cats, Dizzy and Sumomo
    1.0 Shiba Inu, Hokkaido

    Snake yawns are the cutest thing EVER

    Lol No Feet is a cute suggestion from your kid.. I would agree I'm a fan of many mythological names if you want something on the unique side. Look up Greek Mythology and you'll get a ton of choices to choose from. Even though Leviathan is a little common among the snake community, I love the name for my BP.
    xoxo, Shae

    1.0 Normal Ball Python, "Leviathan"
    0.1 Axanthic , "Nake"

    Look up some Hawaiian words. Like my name Rick in Hawaiian is Lika and that's what I'm thinking about naming my new pastel. Or Richard is Likeke.

    Re: I need help

    I googled serpents, snakes, and snake names. The coolest word I came up with to me was Seraphim, which is either a fiery serpent or a high ranking angel depending on the religion. I liked the sound of it so I modified it slightly to Saraphen and that is what I named my snake. It does not mean anything because I changed the original word but I thought it sounded cool.
