How did your snake get its name?

[dakski]

This is Solana! She is a scaleless sunglow motley corn snake and is about 2 1/2 months old and 8G.

We should be receiving her soon. The pictures are compliments of Don Soderberg at South Mountain Reptiles, who hatched her.

Katie named her Solana because she is a sunglow and soooooo bright! Solana means "Sun" in Spanish.

Here goes:

Shayna, my female Spider Albino Morph Ball Python:

Shayna means "beautiful" in Yiddish.

Figment, my male Hypo-Lavender Corn Snake:

He's purple, and I loved the Imagination ride as a kid at Epcot in Disney World. So, I named him after the main character, Figment.

Our brand new addition, Behira, a 1 year old female Boa (BCI), Ivory Ghost Morph.

She has a light tone to her (pics to post soon) and blueish grey eyes. So Katie, my fiancé, wanted to name her, something that meant "light," and "clear." That is Behira in hebrew.

Also of note, my geckos, all females, and different morphs, are Carra (she looks like a carrot - bright orange - she's a sunglow), and Kayla, and Cleo. No reasoning behind the last two, they just sounded good with Carra.

Finally, Frank, my blue tongue skink. His blue tongue reminded us of "Old Blue Eyes," Frank Sinatra.

I also had a Bearded Dragon, George, who we lost last year at almost 11. He was named after George Carlin, my favorite comedian.

I realized I need to update here. Up to 13 reptiles now. FINAL NUMBER!

Feliz - Venezuelan Dwarf BCC. Feliz means happy in Spanish, and this species is know for being calm and inquisitive. Feliz is no exception. He's a total sweetie but a fantastic eater.

Yafe - Albino Carpet Python (50% IJ and 50% Darwin). Yafe means handsome in Hebrew. He is incredibly handsome with orange and peach tones in addition to his yellows. He also has the most amazing reddish eyes with great contrast and different shades.

Ferry - Chewie Lizard. Named him after Ferdinand Porsche, also known as Ferry. Porsche is my favorite car.

Ezzy - Leachie. She's mostly green and Katie named her Ezzy, or Esmeralda, for green in Spanish.

Toref - Freckled Tree Monitor (Varanus Tristis Orientalis). Toref means predator/devourer in Hebrew. He's like a little Raptor, but also climbs like crazy and is quick! Maybe should have named him Peter Parker (AKA Spiderman).
