I don't name my snakes. I don't name anything. Every time people see my snakes or some of my one hundred some-odd fish, they always ask me what their names are. I only use "names" like, my female kingsnake, the large female ball python, or the common names for my fish. Even when I buy snakes from people who have already given them names, I'll forget the name in a week.
I am really not sure what draws people to have to name these types of animals that can not recognize a name.......I'll even admit that I think it is silly when people talk about their snake and just use the snakes name. Am I a bad person? (Do not answer that).
