    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.

    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". 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

    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
