Pop quiz, why did this just pop into my head? (Besides being old)
"I'm on the run, I kill to eat.
I'm starving now, I'm feeling dead on my feet.
Going all the way, I'm nature's beast.
Do what I want, I'll do as I please."
I name my reptiles only because when I'm talking to someone I find it much easier to just say it's name rather than "my little brown boa" or "female rainbow boa".

Wow, I was not expecting to see that everyone names their reptiles either. Do people name their fish?
I name all of my fish. lol Not for any particular reason, I just give them names that go with their colour or the type of fish they are. I give fish the same treatment as any other animal. My Betta Tai is 'hand tame' meaning that if I put my hand in the tank he will swim over and lay his body in my hand so I can transport him to a cup for tank cleaning.

I find it very disturbing to sow how many people claim snakes are a part of their "family"". You guys are either over exaggerating or need some serious mental help. I have a bit of money wrapped up in my collection and I really like my snakes but there is no way I would put them on par with my family. I would gladly die for my family if I knew it would keep them safe but there is NO bloody way I would put myself in mortal danger for my snakes..... That's just asinine.

That's kinda where I am. I mean, I *like* my snakes...I always have. Ever since I was a little kid...I also *like* my guitars....I always have. Well, I just sold my Gibson Les Paul, but I really really *like* my Telecaster and Taylor.....
I have a pretty good chunk of $$ wrapped up in both....but, when the zombie apocalypse comes, they are on their own. I'll likely be taking my wife and daughters with me....(most likely)

exactly.... saw them on tour back in the 80's. incredible show.
I saw Maiden on the Powerslave tour. It was truly awesome. Next time they are here I want to take my sons....if there is a next time.
I love The Prisoner and probably listen to that entire album once a month. Not big on Invaders but it is the onlyone.

I am one who may comment that our snakes are part of the family but it is a figure of speech. If my family was starving we would eat the snakes. I think that says it all

I don't think we're exactly equating our affection for our animals to our love of human relatives, at least I'm not. I just mean that my pets are members of my household that I love, protect, respect, and care for. Of course they don't have the same emotional value as a child, parent, sibling or spouse. I may not put myself in mortal danger for my animals but I'll do everything short of that to make sure they are as healthy and happy as they can be.

Well, then consider me one of those who need mental help.....I do consider my animals a part of my family.......as all my pets over my lifetime have been...... I value their lives over most people, except my family, and the few friends I have.......So if you want to say I have a few screws loose, have at it.....

Hm, well this is just your opinion. I put my animals on the same level I would put my child.. but since I don't like kids and never plan on having any my pets ARE my kids. So it may seem stupid to you but you obviously aren't able to connect to animals in a more meaningful way and that makes me pity you.
