do you name your snakes

[Katie]

My snakes name is Snoopy because everytime I go into the room at night she is hanging off her branch pushing her snout (nose?) against the top of the enclosure in a vain attempt to get loose!

Hi ,
I have 25 snakes and they all have names. I keep a lable on each viv so that I know which snake is in each one. It helps alot at feeding time when I have 6 snakes out in feeding containers,I know which viv they go back to.
The names I choose just come to me .

[HomeBreeder]

a few of many names.. I'm not the most creative person, you'll probably see a trend or two in the words I pick:

Mary Jane - butter motley; sreminds me of Mary Jane candies.
Sierra & Sweatpea - blizzards (don't ask, I don't know)
Payson, Pinkie, and theBrain - snows
Casper, Vermont, & Angel - ghosts (lots of my snakes are named for places)
J-Lo - CB Okeetee
Jasper - Jasper Cty. Okeetee
Annie & Bandy - banded
Dracula & Elvira - crimsons
Sunny and Sunrise - sunglow & sg-motley
Laruel & Hardy - triple hets
Jekyll & Hydea - het hypo-a & het hypo-b
Vicky & Venny - hypo motley & caramel motley

...

My golden geckos are Tourmaline and Amber...
My vittatus are Bones and Nurse Chapel...
My ball python is Gossimer...

Some of my leo's names: Elvis, Cosmo, Tang, Cygnus, Storm, Whisper...

No rhyme or reason....

All of my snakes have names, and, including the keepers from this year, I have 85 total. I even have names picked out for the potential future keeper hatchlings for the next 2 years. I don't want to spend the next hour listing them here, I do have to get up and work in the morning. Some of the names are not very creative, but some get fairly creative, especially when I try to make them go together if the hatchlings are siblings.

We name our snakes (we being my children and I). The kids also wanted to name the mice and rats. I was a bit weary as the rodents were there to produce food, so we compromised and I gave a naming convention. So our rodents carry the following (and similar) names...August 12th, August 19th, the twins are August 26th, etc.
