Re: How do you choose names for your Ball pythons?
I think we already had a thread on this, but I don't mind repeating it! My BPs are all named after Shakespearean characters, with the exception of Delilah... her name means "dark beauty" in Swahili, which seemed fitting for a beautiful dark snake from Africa (she was my first snake, before I decided to use a theme). Here are the others:
Pedro, 1.0 Mojave - Wanted a suave Spanish name for him, and this one is from the play Much Ado About Nothing.
Desdemona (Mona), 0.1 normal - She looked like a Mona the second I saw her! Also a character from Othello, my favorite of Shakespeare's plays.
Rosalind & Orlando, 1.1 het albinos - Named after the lovers from As You Like It since they were bought as a couple. 
Toby, 1.0 pastel - Character from Twelfth Night; although I originally found his name off a list of Hebrew Bible names, and just thought it was cute.
Vincentio (Vinnie), 1.0 spider - From Measure for Measure, chosen because he just looks like a Vinnie. Now I love to call him "Vinnie the Spider," as it sounds like an Italian mobster - LOL.
Scout, 1.0 reverse Okeetee corn snake - Since these snakes originate from the Southern US, I decided to give him a Southern-sounding name... and Scout also goes along with a literary theme. (gimme a break, I'm a librarian! )
Lolo's Collection...
Ball Pythons: 0.4 Normals, 1.0 Pastel, 1.1 Mojaves, 1.0 Black Pastel, 2.0 Spiders, 0.1 Lesser, 1.0 Orange Ghost, 0.1 Honeybee
0.1 Spotted Python, 1.1 Stimson's Pythons, 1.0 Jungle Carpet Python
3.4 Corn Snakes, 1.1 Western Hognose Snakes, 1.2 cats, and 1.0 dog (47lb mutt)
