Re: Naming your reptiles
We also name all of our reptiles, for pretty much all the reasons others have stated.

Re: Naming your reptiles
I name most of mine. The ones that are named are named after Marvel comic villains.

Re: Naming your reptiles
Wow, I was not expecting to see that everyone names their reptiles either. Do people name their fish?

Re: Naming your reptiles
I typically draw the line at fish, although I don't have any now and haven't had for a few years. My dad had fish tanks while we were growing up but even as a kid I only named a few of the fish.

Re: Naming your reptiles
I name all of mine. I used to be annoyed when they weren't named as soon as they came home, but now it's not a priority of mine and sometimes they go by "unnamed" for a few weeks. I name everything but fish, unless it's a betta fish.

Re: Naming your reptiles
I've been referring to mine as "the snake" but will have a name figured out eventually. I'm bad at names but enjoy having one for my pets - even the hamsters I had were named.
I don't name fish, though. I'd have a hard time telling which was which anyway!

Re: Naming your reptiles
I have to name mine, it's only for ID reasons.
Too many animals to say snake A. or lizard B. or "that specimen in the third cage over two up from the bottom"

Re: Naming your reptiles
I also name my snakes and try to name them something that seems "appropriate" to each particular snake. I can certainly see how large breeders wouldn't bother naming their snakes unless they had a particular special snake, but if you have more than one snake, especially if they are the same species and color morph, it just seems easier to differentiate between them.

Re: Naming your reptiles
Honestly, I just don't see how someone can't name their snakes. The snakes in my home are definitely part of the family. They both have names.

Thanks...
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."
