How do you choose names for your Ball pythons?

I think using a theme such a Shakespeare is always a good way to do it.I'm terrible with naming my animals and probally would not do it but fortunately my girl loves naming things(she even names our house plants) Thus far we have Susie the normal,Mary Jane the spider,Priscilla the lesser,Fiona the Enchi,Serina the fire and of course Mr.Slithers the Lesser/Pastel.

My girlfriend and I enjoy naming things after food, and also giving themes to certain groups. Our first BP was named Lentil. I give especially "cute" names to the ones people might regard as freighting, like our rescue alligator, or gets lives in a petting zoo and we use for school presentations and the like, his name is Muffin. Other than that we just go for what ever food name seems to fit them.

I prefer actual names, rather than a numbering system, because it makes it really easy to know who we are talking about without having to go and check which animal it is. It makes the whole experience feel a lot more personal, and less like I am manufacturing reptiles.

My children named mine. But they had to have normal human names
so they are called dave , daisy and dorothy. We then gave them surnames aswel and thats Mc lovin from the film superbad. We also have 2 oscar fish called Ted and Myra and a plec called Bob . Weird names but we find them funny.

Nice everyone. I like how some people come up with a theme for naming their BPs. I just name my BPs and other snakes actual names.

Like, my friend came up with Candice (when I first purchased my first BP) and I thought that fit.

My second BPs name is Monty, not after Monty Python, but I've wanted to name one of my snakes Monty for a while and a python named Monty seemed pretty cute.

My Kingsnake, Steve, is named after Steve Irwin. Since Steve Irwin is the person who really got me into snakes and reptiles, I needed a snake of mine to be named after him.

Churro was just something random one of my friends came up with so it seemed pretty cute so I named him Churro.

Even though these aren't snakes, I named my Leopard gecko Sobe after the drink, since their drink has a gecko on it and I named my turtle Miss Piggy because she eats a lot and doesn't stop.

So, I think naming my snakes are fun for now, but once my collection gets big I would stop naming my snakes.

When you grow into a selective breeding collection & it gets very large even keeping track of their numbers & cards is alot of work let alone names

I choose names based on many different things. My first real constrictors were an albino burmese and a columbian red tail. The burm was a male named Archon which in some cultures is a type of vampire which more closely resembles a zombie (similer to revenant). I chose this name simply because he had large teeth and drew blood LOL!

The red tail was a female named blitzkrieg because she was lightning fast at feeding time and had the attitude of a warrior. Not to mention im a metallica fan We called her blitz for short.

My BP's dont all have names yet.

03' F is Thunder. Very slow & picky feeding response.

07' Pastel is Orion. The greek god and constellation. He has a couple stars in his pattern.

09' Pastel is Bella. Shes just cute thats why

It takes me awhile to name my animals so the others havent gotten names yet.

The cattle dogs are Radar (huge ears) & Kain (beautiful, warrior, accomplished, golden, war-like) It fits him too. The cat is Psycho.. It definately fits him.

Even most of the fish have names. Except the ones i cant tell apart
