    Snake names

    We name our pets and were wondering how many of you do the same. Here's the names and explainations:

    2008 Bell Pastel Female (our first snake!)
    Name: Dora Belle
    Explaination: My wife wanted to name her "Dora the Explorer" because she is always in motion when she's out. I wanted to name her "Belle" because I thought she was very pretty (i.e. southern belle) and because she is from the Bell line. We compromised and came up with Dora Belle. (also when a new visitor comes to the door, they ring the door bell, and since she was our first, she would be the new visitor!)

    2009 Spider Male
    Name: Peter Parker
    Explaination: aka spider man (my wife has a sense of humor)

    2009 100% Het Pied Female
    Name: Pretty Penny
    Explaination: She has beautiful copper/bronze colors on her sides, and her babies will hopefully produce some "pretty pennies"!

    2009 Graziani Pastel Female
    Name: Lucciola
    Explaination: Since "Graziani" is Italian, Pastel is a bright color, and she is shaped (a little) like a worm, the Italian word for "glow worm" is Lucciola! My wife worked on this name for D-A-Y-S!!

    Are we nuts?

    Please share your pets' names with us, we think it's interesting and funny!

    Re: Snake names

    I haven't been able to post pictures of our second BP, so I won't tell about "it's" name yet

    My Lemon Pastel was named Snickets after the books A Series of Unfortunate Events. The character is Lemoney Snickets, and that's how she got her name I wanted to do something with Lemons, cuz I absolutely LOVE anything lemon, so we stuck with that.

    Re: Snake names

    Patriot is so named because we got him/her a few days before July 4th. I wanted to name my first snake "Pretzel" after a BP named "Mrs. Pretzel" that captured our hearts a few years ago, but "Patriot" was so perfect, so "Patriot" it is. Named by our 9yo.
    1 husband ~ 2 daughters
    1 dog ~ 3 cats ~ 1 guinea pig
    1 BP: Patriot

    Re: Snake names

    Different species of mine have different themes to make it easy. Well, easier, anyway.

    BPs: Irulan (before the element thing came up), Iridium, Tungsten, Ferrum, Palladium, Beryllium, Xenon, Europium, Uranium, Iodine ("Bitey"). I try to match the colors or other properties of the elements to the snakes' morphs.

    GTP: Malachite (any future ones will be named after blue/green minerals).

    BRB: Isis.

    Bearded Dragons: Leto, Ghanima, Stilgar (Dune characters).

    Leopard Geckos: Zathras, Nubbins.

    Fat-tail Gecko: Geneva (future fatties will be named after types of chocolate).
    Periodic Table Pythons - Quality, captive-bred pythons? It's elementary!

    1.0 VPI Axanthic, 1.0 Genetic Stripe, 1.0 Red Axanthic, 1.0 Lesser Platinum, 1.0 50% Het Albino, 0.1 Albino, 0.1 Het VPI Axanthic, 0.1 Het Red Axanthic, 0.1 Het G-Stripe, 0.1 Woma, 0.1 Mojave, 0.1 Normal.
