    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.

    Re: Anyone else NOT name their snakes?

    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.

    I name all of mine, but I have two that I haven't "found" names for yet.

    Re: Anyone else NOT name their snakes?

    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.

    lol you should have names him Lester the Lesser ..



    no i dont name mine either , my stuff only gets nicknamed if its going to stay with me permanently .. and my kids usually do all the naming when it gets a name ..
    I love it when people tell me, "You should think before you speak!" I'm like, "I did. It's what I think and I really don't give a crap what other people think."
