    What should I name my corn?

    Well, I finally bought a corn snake! He's an "Aztec Reverse Okeetee" I found on Fauna classifieds, and will be arriving next Tuesday. They're pretty sure he is male, but said they aren't 100% sure - so I might pick a unisex name just in case, LOL. Here's a picture of the little guy, and I've added a poll with the names (both male & unisex) I've come up with... feel free to suggest anything else!

    This is him: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v1...DSC_0122-1.jpg

    I went with Scout. Dunno why, but when I first saw the little cutie, I thought something like Scout or Scuttlebutt fit him. lol. He sure is adorable, congrats!

    How about "Aztec" if it is a male or "Candy Corn" if it turns out to be a female?

    Re: What should I name my corn?

    Thanks for the replies! I thought about going with something Aztec (Nahuatl, as I learned is the proper term), but their names are rather difficult to pronounce. The name "Itzi" is based on some Aztec names I saw, and could also be short for my musical hero - Itzhak Perlman. Leaning towards Scout at this time, however... but would love to keep hearing ideas!

    P.S. Candy (Candy Corn) would be adorable if he turns out to be a she.

    LOL @ Scuttlebutt. You may have noticed I did go with mostly Southern-ish names, since I read they come from South Carolina... actually got a few of them from a list of SC towns.

    FYI: I just got an email from the breeder, and he said his wife popped the snake again... it's definitely a BOY.

    Cornelius for a boy, or Maisy for a girl.

    I have always been an advocate of letting the animal "tell" you what it wants to be named. Give it a few weeks and a name should just pop into your head that seems to "fit" him/her.
