I could have not said it any better Greg!
When I first got into snakes years ago, yes I named a few. As of now, none of my snakes have names except for the few I named years ago (Jinx my corn, Loopy my BP who has neurological problems, and Sulawesi (Sula) my old blood). I no longer see the need to name them. They are very much loved, cared for, and prized animals to me.... but like Greg said, they are my collection. Owning, caring for, and breeding snakes is a hobby to me. And I absolutely love it!
