your snake's name?

[sirtalis]

Well my favorite reptile (sorry not a snake haha) is my peacock monitor, I never really named him though lol, my geckos are always named afyer movie characters

[Sevvy]

I've only got one, but I just named him and I've still got that "new name feeling". His name's Severus Snake-- Sev and Sevvy for short. I'm really into Undertale right now (a PC game with a lot of puns) and I love Harry Potter. I decided I'd name him that if he turned out to be male, and he did, so I'm super excited.

[Tsubaki]

@Sevvy.. I have a bone to pick with you.. Do you think Sans is so calm because nothing gets under his skin? Or because he doesn't have the heart to get worked up about anything? Sorry about these skele-puns, i find them pretty humerus. But for anyone not familiar with [P]Undertale, i might seem like a bit of a bonehead. ... I feel like i need snake siblings to name Sans and Papyrus now... And another female to name Undyne... haha!

Anyway!! I never used to name my reptiles besides a few special ones (Granted my last collection was a lot larger than this one, i would have lost track) But now i do, it's fun and it helps my friends and family to understand which snake i am talking about. Now that i only have a 'few' and i really get to spend more time with each one and get to know them better... They all have names Also sparked some interest with my friends and family and if one not well (Like Loki was for a while) they actually ask me how he's doing.. Which is nice as i am not as involved with the local reptile community any more, but i do like to talk about my animals haha. I give my animals names that i like, or that seem fitting..

My Boas are al named after characters in a show called 'Bleach' All 5 letter names. (Was a coincidence)
Renji (A hot headed redhead with black tattoos, seemed fitting for my hot headed superhypo)
Rukia (A slightly hot headed character that uses a snow katana, sort of fits my slightly hotheaded t+ albino)
Aizen (Evil incarnated, both of them )

My giants have random names, all 4 letters for some reason. Which also was a coincidence at start with the first 2, but then it sort of became a theme.
Zuko (From Avatar, because he's my handsome prince and acts like one too)
Xena (From Xena warrior princess, because she acts like her, all she needs is a leather skirt and a blonde sidekick)
Hiro (From Heroes, because he just reminds me of the short of stature do-good character Hiro a bit and i love the name)
Kira ~(From Deathnote, it was his late brothers name.. Fits both of them because they're smart i suppose, but i mainly just love the name. Have had several pets with this name)
Then my last one, my burmese python.
Loki (From the avengers series, because basically in this collection he is a loner and because i love the name+character)

I have PastelGirl and LemonblastHetHypoBoy. Pretty clever names if you ask me.

[HerpDerp3005]

I named my snake DJ. Like DJ Snake!

[Fbaccnum1]

My jungles named burgers and chips...because his colours remind me of a McDonalds cheese burger... yeah no idea where my head was at that night.

[jay's reptiles]

My baby female normal retics is Remy.

[ThirteenRavens]

@Tsubaki: I love Bleach!!

I need to think of a name for my new little guy but I am so horrible with that...it's so hard! Even naming my video game characters is an epic feat lol...

[JellyBean]

I like to hear the stories behind the names too

Bean's full name is
"Jelly-Bean a/k/a David Hisselhoff"...

The jellybeans are for the shapes on his back.
He HAD to be a David, because I'm the only one that's NOT a David!
(Hubby, son, father-in-law, several close friends...)
And HISSelhoff is a name play on 'David Hasselhoff', and it was just too funny to pass up

We also have a Chiweenie named "Oscar Meyer" (like the hot dogs)
Had...
A Bearded Dragon named "Spyro" after the the video game, Spyro the dragon.
A green Iguana named "Bender" from Futurama
And a hedgehog named "Humphrey" because he always made a "humf" sound when he was scared.

I'll spare you of the rest...

Okay JellyBean, by the way your screen name sounds familiar so I wonder if you were here way back when?

My daughters new corn's name is Amenadiel and the new baby is named Enodia. IF IF IF I can pull off bringing home the other girl her name will be Zefonith.

Amenadiel was named by my daughter. I am not familiar with him but I do know he is on the TV show Lucifer. I have not come across him in my spiritual studies. Enodia, is named after Hecate, and Zefonith after mother Lilith.

I can't forget ancient bearded dragon Jules, who was also named by my daughter when my daughter was 5. Her name is actually Julie, but we have always really called her Jules.

bob the ball python because his pattern spells out bob.
marilyn the boa after marilyn manson.
helena the boa after the misfits song.
edgar the boa after edgar allan poe the poet.

Haha, so glad I read this because this crossed my mind. I'm a huge Graves fan. It fits for a snake; no arms, no legs.

Sorry, not me. But I'm still excited for your new comer, Zefonith



This thread definitely shares some insight into some of our personalities, don't you think?

[Matt-R]

My dad named his ball python Abaddon after the Prince of the Pit, a fitting name for a snake so I kept it after I took him under my care.

My boa constrictor is Diablo after my favorite video game and because his pattern turns a little red after eating.

And my albino milk snake is called Crush after the popular fizzy orange drink
