Holden, Ruby, Diana, Macabee, Kiwi, and Spooky are
1.1 bloodreds, .1 Amel blood, .1 gopher, .1 MBK, and .1 Hypo Pueblan Milk

And a bunch of baby bloodreds I'm still hanging onto..

I LOVE naming my snakes...... and like many I enjoy theme naming. I really have too many to actually list but here are the themes:

Any Morph Motleys get Battlestar Gallactica names: Adama, Helo, Starbuck
Any Morph Stripe get Hitchikers Guide to The Galaxy names: Zaphod, Marvin
Sunkissed get Deadwood (HBO) names: Bullock, Hearst, Joanie
Bloods get God/Goddess names: Kira, Devi, Persephone, Lucius, Athena
Any Normal gets a name that means hidden or secret in another language
Okeetee female is named Sorcha (bright if I remember correctly)
Caramel or variations of Caramel get Elven names.
Lava and Lava hets get names that mean Fire or Hot... cause thats what they are!!! Smokin

When I got my first Lavenders I was blown away - they didn't look purple to me... so no descriptive names there. I choose Hawiian or Polynesian names that mean mist or dew: Alaula, Noelani

Black Rat Snakes get Firefly (SciFi) names: Wash, Zoe
Bairdi Rat Snakes got River and Drizzle... water names.. who knows why.

Western Hognose: Gimley from Lord of the Rings... because he LOOKS like em. When I got the female I simply named her Gimlet cause she was the same but tiny

King Snakes have been the funnest so far - we sit around and laugh when trying to come up with these. The rule is that they have to have a Gangster sounding name attached to a body part that a snake doesn't have:

Leggs McGee
Jimmy The Foot
Billy Big Guns
Fannie Fingers
Evil Eye Eddie
Long Arm Louie
Baby Face Jane

The only time that snakes don't get a theme name is when we actually get them from someone whos already named them. We have a Batman, Zero, Ceasar, Mohito, Kaluah and so on... we just don't re-name them for some reason.

I'm thinking I need a Battle Worm series though hehehe

Have fun all!

My first snake, Chester, got that name because I liked it. Im not even sure what sex he is, but it will stay either way.

Irwin is my Amel. He was named after Steve Irwin.

Sui is one of my Normal females. She was named after Steve Irwin's dog.

Corwin is my Normal male. He was named after Jeff Corwin.

And Hannah is my other Normal Female. I just like the name, but everyone says I either named her after Jack Hannah or Hannah Montana,lol.

My pewter is called Cerberus, simply because I've always enjoyed Greek mythology and I thought that was a cool sounding name.

I was also thinking Khouri after my favorite character from Alastair Reynold's Revelation Space books, but I'll save that one for another pet.

...You named your snake after the main character of the Clan of the Cave bears?
So, Bluetengel. I officially dig you. XDDD You, are awesome.

This is just the cornsnakes, I am leaving out the blue tongue skink, leopard gecko, rosy boas and pet rats.

Calvin - amel boy. Amels were the first "designer" snake so he was named after Calvin Klein.

Kate - I liked the name and thought it went with Calvin.

Keeper - first snake I ever hatched. Only one out of 12 eggs to hatch. Naturally a keeper!

Sniper - hatched the year of the DC sniper,2002.

Snafu - unexpected color, a total snafu!

Sangria - sweet and red, like the wine

Horcrux - A Harry Potter referance, any fan will understand the meaning!

Havoc - I liked the meaning.

Hatteras - After the weather station on Cape Hatteras.

Kismet - I think it means fate, I liked the sound of it.

Kato - was Katrina until I saw hemipenes!

Kessler - Kramer's original name (in the first episode) of Seinfeld.

Beacon - will prove or disprove whether Kismet, Kato and Kessler are striped bloods, and turn a beacon on them!

Syko - was a psycho baby.

Steve Irwin - after the croc hunter.

I hopefully have 4 coming this year, 1 is a hypo blood hatched and feeding, 2 are lavenders that are hatched and havent fed yet, and one is a lavender and is due to hatch next week.
Their names...

Elphaba - the hypo blood. The name of The Wicked Witch Of The West.

Lugosi - his father's name is Vlad, so I named him after the actor who played Dracula in 1931.

Luna - Vlad's daughter, named after the goddess of the moon.

Javelin - a spear. I believe Vlad is her father as well.

I watched the news that night and HAD to name her Taser.
