I love naming my pets... some get nice names, some get corny ones!

The leos I have now are named Girl, Freckles, Boo and Candy. My snake's name is Bandula.

In the past I have given my pets these names: Basil, Zoe, Bo, Baby, Darwin, Daisy,Ursela, Andre, Eva, etc. Sorry there aren't any 'pair' names, but I hope these might get you goin'!

I know some will consider me a killjoy here but... Why name snakes? They can't hear you when you say their name... they can't read it if it was written down... they haven't got the ability to associate an abstract label with a concept of "self" even if they could... Labels for use in distinguishing individual animals on feed charts or to denote relationships when forming breeding projects sure, but what's wrong with 1.0BCC#001 and 0.1BCC#001? Or if that's *too* clinical, why not just "The male boa" "The female boa"?

[dave68]

One suggestion make sure your positive of sex- lol We got a "male" boa about 7 years ago. "He" has had 3 litters of babies now "his" name is Ted. He is a she. A nine ft. girly named Ted.

to some, that's like naming a human child "human male", wouldn't look too good on a birth certificate.

some think of our snakes as part of the family.... not just "things".

no matter how many i have, which right now is at 15, they are all pets, they are all different, and have different personalities. they deserve names.

ball pythons:

Amy - my first snake
Gwen - she's my mentally ******** & my favourite.
Jasmine - gwens sister & almost full stripped
Hansel & Gretyl - my het for axanthic pair
Calista - the big eater & great to show little kids
Spike - so named for his sharp tail!
Mr.Big - well, we thought he was big until........
Lucy - used to be "lucky" with previous owner, my 3000 gram girl!
"The new little girl ball" - not named cuz i just got her and haven't thought of a good one yet!

berm: Zeul - our princess


*goes to think of name for new one*

IMHO, it's an attachment thing. The above poster said it well, with we wouldn't name a human child "male 001". It is soooo impersonal. My snakes, and other reptiles all have names, or will have. They are my pets. not breeding projects, not just snakes, they are pets.


anyways, names here:

Bearded dragons: Silva ( snow male ), Meka ( Hawiian for eyes ), Kiyomi, and Lizzie.

Snakes: Karma ( normal corn ), Promise (BRB).
2 unnamed, my hoggie ( although b ! tch suits her well ) and my new guy ( BCI)

Leopard gecko's: Stubby, Stubbs, Kiara, Sahara, and 2 unnamed.

Larry the female Iguana
Brandy the dog.

snake food 1-16 ( rat babies ) :D

[Lisa]

we've named all our snakes and some of our rodents

BOA derek

I also name all of mine and intend to keep naming them regardless of how many I get!! LOL.

My cornsnakes were Elmo and Grover (Elmo was a common and Grover was a Miami Phase) Naga was my first BP, she passed away though.

As for my current animals. Three that I purchased are Osiris, Isis, Demetae (Osiris is the egyptian Judge of the dead, Isis is the Godess of fertility and Osiris wife and sister, mine are unrelated though) Demetae just sounded good is actually the name of an old scotish tribe.
Ulysses is my adopted male bp, I got to name him if he was a girl it would have been Medusa picked by my DH.
Recoil and Whiplash my two newest adoptees seem to fit the names they sound good and well, Recoil does just that she is timid and Whiplash earns her name the way she strikes at her food! :D

Now I'm going to have to come up with a name for my new Malaysian Blood, maybe DH will get to use Medusa after all!!

PS.... If you haven't noticed I'm huge on the mythology names, snakes are very prominant in all mythology.

Why name snakes what's wrong with 1.0BCC#001 and 0.1BCC#001?

I name and give everyone ID #'s and I've never actually used the ID #'s when looking stuff up or recording things. Names are so much easier to remember... Why not do both - the snake won't care...

[gonesnakee]

Why name snakes? Most people name their pets its a pretty common practice LOL If you are a breeder & treat them just as stock, then I feel for you because you obviously don't have much for feelings yourself. Despite having had literally hundreds of snakes before most all of them (not the hatchlings LOL) have had names. Female Ghost Corn #1 or #2 doesn't bring to mind an individual specimen, but lots of people out there are famililar with my girls "Lil Girl" & "Beauty". To each their own I guess, but despite being a breeder I am still very personal with my snakes, even those without official names. The day I start treating them as strickly breeding stock or investments I hope someone gives me a slap to snap me outta it LOL Mark

[samm_bennett666]

well said mate :D

[gonesnakee]

THX Oh & to reply to the post I myself like cartoons so why not some cartoon names. More endless possibilities. Fred & Wilma, Betty & Barney, Homer & Marge etc. etc. etc. LOL Mark

[nicola_boulton]

Homer, lol. I no som1 who has a silly dog called homer! :D

[Yness]

well I had a female brb named Rochelle that I found out was a male...his name is now Beau. (French for beautiful for all you non french speaking people)

My brother named my male and female clutchmate Cal kings Paris(male) and Kassandra(female) after the brother/sister in the Greek Troy myth...watch for the characters in the upcoming movie...Orlando Bloom plays Paris I think...

My new (used) mexican black king snake was once known as a female named Princess, then his owner found out he was a Prince not a Princess (I think....thats what I gathered from previous posts anyway) and I have changed his name to Oreno...named after Oren Ishii from Kill Bill Vol. 1.

Its fun to think of names and I may be personifying my snakes but it seems to me they have their own personalities...that would help explain why two snakes of the same species can have completely different dispostions (oooOOOooo big word).

my 2 cents...

[nicola_boulton]

lol, kk

[Tortoise man]

Justa tring to help.

[nicola_boulton]

I want some kind of name that is unusual, if you know what i mean. Like japanse names etc. Thanks to everyone who replyed!!

[sapphire_moon]

look up jap names on google! There are all kinds of names, indian, welsh, dutch, french, irish, look up "unusual names" or "weird names" it will come up with a bunch of things.

[ReptiZone]

Well you could name them, savanna and sabien. I knew twins that were named that, and it fit well together. It really just depends on what taste in names you have, what is your idea on "stupid names." I personally , usually just refer to a few of my snakes by their latin name or english name, but if i do educational programs for schools, i use given names so the children can comprehend better. Maybe try this site www.babynamescramble.com
