Cool thread JamieLynn I'll play....

My first BP was specifically chosen as a male so I could name him Alice after Alice Cooper. Only you old folks like me will know who that is and why I named a male snake Alice. Of course, a boa constrictor would have been more appropriate, but I didn't want such a big snake for my first.

My second BP was sort of a rescue from Craigslist who already had a name, Charger. The girl said her favorite football team was the San Diego Chargers. I then discovered he was actually a she, but just didn't feel like changing her name...it seemed kind of generic anyway.

JamieLynn...this is for you...I bought my first BCI at the NARBC two weeks ago. I wanted a female so I could name her after Marie Laveaux (I'm from Louisiana) and I thought it was perfect for a snake (got the Bobby Bare tune on my iPod ) Now this poor little snake was popped AND probed at the show, but first vet visit revealed her to be a him ! Well...I ended up changing Marie's name to the male name I already had picked out for my FUTURE male boa...Vincent. Of course, Alice Cooper's REAL name is Vincent Furnier....

So there you have it...

Glad someone else knows who Marie Laveau is and hope someone knows who Alice Cooper is...otherwise, I'm REALLY old and uncool
