    Most of our animals have names but I much more often call the females "girlie, mama, etc".

    I find myself using the morph titles as well more often then our names for the snakes.

    For our crested geckos I use their names.

    For our Uroplatus I usually am either calling them by their name or saying "pied male, giant male, female lineatus, male fimbriatus".

    All of mine have names, but if it's something I only have one of sometimes I'll just say "the water dragon" or "the turtle". I find that I use their names more in person, but not on the forums, then I tend to just say what they are.

    I call them all by their names in person. Except I also have a severe case of babytalk and call them things like "my sweet beautiful princess" and "my perfect prince"......

    I have a baby normal BP that I named Lilith. I usually use her name when talking to friends about her, but when I'm holding her or getting her out of her cage, I call her baby girl.

    Re: Nme or no name?

    We named our Sampson Slithers and Slinky Slithers, and definitely refer to them by (first) name. For some reason, the names really "fit" them, you know how sometimes you name an animal and its awkward to call them by the name for a while? Never an issue with these two. I baby talk to Sampson a lot too, he just has such a laid back cool disposition that encourages it lol. Slinky... not so much. She always feels like she'd rather be left alone in the cage than held.
