I named my boa Figment for two reasons. One, I like naming my pets after obscure Disney characters (I also currently have a ferret named Gadget!) and Figment is the name of the dragon at Epcot. Two, I always thought that the only snake I ever got to own would just be a "figment of my imagination". So when I actually got a boa, the name was perfect. It fits her so well too. With both Gadget and Figment, I had the names thought out way in advance, and found an animal that it seemed to fit. It's how I picked them.
