I took your advise and told my wife she could name them. This has made her hate them a little less. She even watched a feeding and was checking on the male Fire DG to see if he was hided up so we could try a feeding. She wants to touch one, but has a long way to go. I think at the next scheduled handling, she might feel on one.

Top contenders are Ross and Rachel, Chandler and Monica, Walt and Vic, or Riggins and Lyla (we nexflix binge). My choice was Johnny and June. She decided to wait to see if the snakes presented and character traits that would help sellecting a proper name.

We have a tarantula named Steve after the kids animation movie "Over the Hedge". There was a line in the movie that goes, "I'd be a lot less scared of it if I knew what to call it." "Let's call it Steve." "Yes. I like that, that's much less scary."

I have 2 ferrets named Johnny and June!! That's awesome!!

And that's cool.that she's warming up to the snakes a bit. It took my girl a little while. She still keeps her handling sessions super short, still won't reach into their enclosures, etc... But she's come a long way. She even said the other day she might want her own hognose!! I'dbe the one caring for it, she'd I'm just have "her" snake. I'll let her name this one, hahaha. She would definitely vote for one of the Friends name choices. She's been binge watching Friends lately, it's her favorite show.
