The Tattooed Lady and Martians!!!

Here goes... A great deal of my animals are named after characters in books that I've read...

Snakes
Xander - male ball python, modified version of Zander, a name I liked from a book.
Fate - female brazilian rainbow boa, born on my birthday... I'm sure you can figure the rest out. LOL...
Lukien - male irian jaya carpet python, saw the name in a book and liked it.
Kaehne - unsexed green tree python. Now this one's an interesting story... lol. I have never in my life had such a hard time naming an animal -- I had this guy picked out and paid for for 6 months before I finally got him home, and I searched for a name that whole time with no luck... nothing seemed to "fit". Finally about a month after I brought him home, I was talking with a customer whose name was in my computer as "Mr.Kane". He was amazed that I pronounced it correctly, which was a little confusing because I had no idea how else you would say that name. Turns out whoever typed it in didn't spell it correctly... it was supposed to be "Kaehne". I have this thing for names that are spelled differently, and as soon as I saw that I was like "aha!". LOL... I hope Mr. Kaehne doesn't mind having a snake named after him So there's that story... lol...
Calliope - female jungle carpet python, this one just popped into my head one day and I decided I liked it
Rhonwen - female ball python, on my list of ready made pet names that I've put together over the years... lol. Thought it suited her when I saw it
Taigh - male brazilian rainbow boa, this is another one from a book... Taigh was a Fae bard.... I liked it

Geckos
Ember - female leo, a positively electric yellow carrot tail from Urban Gecko... I'm sure you can figure out the rest
Willow - female leo, just liked the name... another one on my list. lol...
Cujo - female leo, named after the former Leaf's goalie Curtis Joseph (it should be noted that I thought that Cujo was a male at the time... lol. And the name stuck around even after I found out otherwise...)
Zith - female leo, named after the cute little deadly poisonous snake from David Eddings' Belgariad/Mallorean books
Dallas - female leo, just liked the name
Rhapsody - female leo (albino), named after the main character in Elizabeth Haldon's "Rhapsody" trilogy
Trinity - female leo (albino), following the trend... lol...
Serenity - female leo (albino), again... following the trend
Aidan - female leo (albino)... supposed to be a male, turned out to be female -- name stuck around Just liked the name...
Rhodry - male leo (albino), one of the main characters in a series of books I was reading at the time...
Arthur - male leo (blizzard), named after King Arthur... seemed fitting, my first male blizzard was named Merlin.
Indi - male pictus, cute name, cute little gecko when I got him. LOL. Plus the name could've gone either way (male or female), and he was too young to know the sex of when I first got him...
Kia - female pictus, on the "name list" -- seemed to suit her.
Lexi - female leo (blizzard), she was quite spunky as a baby, and the name just seemed to fit
Sierra - female leo (patternless), more lady-like as a baby, this name seemed more feminine...
Hailey - female leo, this name just popped into my head...
Riana - female leo, another name that just popped into my head and seemed to fit...
Ciaran - male leo, named after one of the main characters in the "Seven Brothers" trilogy by Juliett Marillier
Jacey - female leo, just liked the name From the list...
Sage - female leo, again from the list...
Cassie - female leo, a carbon copy of her mother Katie, and named in honor of her mother (RIP)...
Dawson - male leo, name seemed to fit him...
Talia - female leo, from "the list", the name seemed to suit her...
Shiva - female crested, just liked the name
Cayce - male crested, popped into my head, and the name seemed to fit...
Phoenix - male crested (fire morph)... I'm sure you get the idea. LOL..

Mice - these ones should be fairly self-explanatory
Oreo - male black/white
Twix - female caramel/white
Marshmallow - female albino

ryo (pro. rio, like the river) common boa
she's a rescue. her former owner (my ex psycho roommate) named her. she was really into anime and i think ryo is an anime character name. if anyone can enlighten me i'd be ecstatic!

spike, ball python
i thought the name spike sounds tough, which is a funny name for a cute little BP.

nonherps, all cats:

runty---cause he was the runt.
tigre- has black and dark grey stripes that look like a tiger
puma- black cat
