naming my pair of BPs...do you name yours?

[jessikaowl]

I got a pair of ball pythons last week & I have yet to name them... all my others, names have just come easily & seem to suit..... these are proving more difficult cuz I want to name them as a couple!!!

I would like to go with matching names of a girl & guy you would always think of together.... i've gotten some really good suggestions so far but wondered about your opinions on naming your animals. I know alot of keepers name a few, but after getting so many they just keep track of M/F stats!

So far, I think i'm deciding between Mark & cleopatra (cleo for short) or Hansel & Gretal (i'm a sucker for german names).

My other snakes are: Amy, Gwen, Jasmine, Zeul
Lizards are: Fluffy, "the new one" even though we've had him for 4 months, and Trogdor (the burninator)

What are some of the names you have for your reptiles?

[Bartman]

i just bought a BP at the show today and i named him Marley. My tegu is Taz, my 2 uromastyx are cheech and chong, my leopard is Ringo, and my tortoise is Wilma.

[burmer]

We name all of ours:
Blair (Albino Burm)
Aragorn (Normal Burm)
Arwen (Retic)
Freedom (Borneo)
Kingsnake (Houdini)
Rat Snake (Jersey)
Nile (Gollum)
Beardie (Freddy)

[gauts28]

Sometimes I named them. Some of the names of my snakes are: Moka, Cartman, Lestat, Luke and Duke but the other ones are names by the number I receive them (species +number 1,2,3 ex. ball python 1, ball 2)

My BP I named Shriek . My five Leos are Jake,Jules, Opal, Topaz and Pearl. I have two unnamed Frogeye geckos. My collection had gone down over the years but is slowly coming back up.
Shriek is a real misnomer seeing as he's as passive as can be unless you happen to be on the menu that is :D

and Trogdor (the burninator)

Trogdor was a man.... actually he was a dragon man.... well really he was just a dragon... but he was still TROGDORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Burninating the countryside! Burninating the people!

Welcome to the site.

[Mike177]

We love the name trogdor..... we just hope it's a male! black throats are so hard to sex!

[Clownfishie]

[sapphire_moon]

Well we only have 2 BP so far......My male Damballah (Meaning: Voodoo god) and Prana (meaning: Breath of life, or life), and on wednesday we are getting a Motley Amel Corn snake from South Mountain Reptiles!!!

[TheRedDragon]

Invictus and I name all ours: Trinity, Morpheus, Neo, Goldmoon, Caramon, Raistlin, Kitiara, Tasslehoff, Leviathan, Furious, Malice, Buttercup, Westley, Mickey, Mallory, Hera, and Anubis. :) We still have three more than we're pondering on for names.

jessikaowl, I think Hansel and Gretal are great names for a pair. Or if your a Sex Pistols fan, Sid and Nancy. Other than that I'm drawing a blank. I have a male bearded dragon named Smaug (smog), named after the dragon in The Hobbit, and a female bp named Pia (it just seemed to suit her), and an as yet unamed female helmeted iquana.

[Lisa]

We use a russian nameing sceme for our reptiles. One of them is named zameya, the russian word for snake.

Hmmmm... I think I've seen him in a movie...lmao :p:p:p

[MouseKilla]

I wasn't sure how to vote here. The thing is that all of our snakes have names but I didn't name any of them myself. With the exception of "Tonto", the Great Plains Rat snake who had that name when we got him, our daughter has named them all. She was about 4 when we got started. Some names have some influence or reasoning behind them and others she has just simply invented after being discouraged from naming them after relatives. Here's our small but ever-growing collection

- Red Corn (Amik)
- Northern Pine (Alex)
- Great Plains Rat (Tonto)
- Eastern King (Nightstalker) I've nicknamed him "Manson" though because he is nuts and wants to kill me
- 50/50 Cal King (Beetlegeuse) this one we suggested
- BCI (Swedish)
- Female BP (Miranda) used to be "Martin" until we had her sexed
- Male BP (Martin) guess she likes that name

They're sort of funny names but we like getting our daughter involved with the animals. We thought letting her name them would be a good way of including her until she's old enough to do some of the chores. She's now able to help with feedings and holding them while I do cleanings.

[red bootz]

I didn't name any of my animals, that is until I got married. Now my wife has given names to all of them.

For what its worth, they are;

Red foot torts-Sakura, Ume, Kaede.
3 toed box - Mama-san

[drewlowe]

My corn snakes are Havoc (m) and Silver Sable (f).
My beardies are Login (m) and Raven (f) (wolverine and mystique's real names)
Leopard geckos. Speedball, domino, rouge, siren, Elektra (all females) And Psyloke aka. Lucky (m).
My Rose hair Night Crawler

my eastern american toads i have 2 of them (which i never see cause they are always hiding on me). Toad and (no name) haven't thought of a good name for him.

as you can tell i picked a theme and stuck with it. All my critters are named after marvel comics.

[LdyDrgn]

Julius Squeezer, Octavius Squeezer, Magnus Maximus and others are the names of snakes that belong to a friend of ours. He IS JuliusSqueezer on RTB :)
