Sooo, I only have the one Ball Python and she's called Pretzel. When I first got her, she was tiny and cute and people had different reactions. I had no idea what to call her, and hadn't had her probed so actually had no idea if she was male or female. I called her Scream to start off with - mainly because people were always like "AAAAH!" of "EEEEK!" when I told them I got her...

Then it didn't seem right. Her name that is. Soooo she was a bit aggressive for a while, not sure why... her name changed to Nightmare.

AAAAND it still wasn't right

Then one day, sat in front of a particularly fishy Disney film with her curled up in my hand, she wound round and got comfortable, and there was my Pretzel

So how did you come up with names for all your lovely little friends?

Here's my babygirl, just being herself (Excuse the HUGE writing across the photo, I'm currently using said photo as my FB cover photo!)

Ozzy the Bumblebee got his name because he's worth a lot of money and kinda "spayshul"...if ya know what I mean.



Kelly means "Bright"
Ivy's dad was an Ivory
Agnes and Leah are from old Donnie Iris songs
Mosby is from John S Mosby
Leon, because he's a Leo
Norma because "Norm" was written on her snake bag
Iggy Python for Iggy Pop
Alice for Alice Cooper
Spider for a rock song
Brom the Boa after a favorite artist
[but we usually call him "Bob"]
Dixie Lee Dumeril because it sounded southern, to me.
