What should I name my corn?

I'd like to get a corn snake, and name it Flakes. (corn flakes..)

Cornelius for a boy, or Maisy for a girl.

Name him Cob.

Those are some good "corny" names - LOL! Not sure they suit this little guy, but I could totally use them in the future.

We should start a thread on the best - and funniest - corn snake names... a couple I thought of were "Orville" (Redenbacher) and "Jiffy" (Pop).

I vote Ziggy b/c he has such an awesome zig-zag pattern!

That would be cool... but I used to have an iguana named Ziggy, so that's on the "done it" list.

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.

Yeah, I'll definitely wait until I see him before deciding... but I'm leaning towards Scout at this point.

When I got my normal BP Mona (Desdemona), I had no idea what to name her before she arrived - then the second I opened the box/bag she arrived in, she just screamed MONA! So yeah, sometimes they do sorta name themselves.

Strawberry, cherry, Or something like that would be my suggestion.

I thought about getting a candycane corn, and naming it "Strawberry Shortcake" - I suggested that to a guy at Petco (who was buying one), and he loved the idea.

P.S. Looks like Chester and Scout are winning the poll so far, not including the "other" votes... he arrives on Tuesday, so I'll let you know what I decide.

FYI: Just checked the UPS tracking on my corn... he arrived in Oakland (from MD via KY) at 4:27am, and was put on the delivery truck at 6:15am. It's pouring rain outside, so I just hope his box isn't all soggy!

Still leaning towards "Scout" for his name, but I'll wait until I see him before deciding - will post pictures and his name later.
