Can't Keep A Secret
My snakes are generally named for "lesser" or obscure characters in favorite TV shows, movies, or video games. LOL! There are a few exceptions, though. For instance, my three yearlings from my 2013 clutch are all IndyCar themed... because my (at the time) two-year old son named the first one "Racecar" right out of the egg. 
(On that note, one of those three snakes is still technically unnamed. I've been calling her by a name... but I don't like it and haven't come up with something better. Heh.)
Reggie - Raiders of the Lost Ark (the original snake on a plane)
Una - Stardust
Tael - Zelda: Majora's Mask (used to have a sister, Tatl)
Celia - Monster's Inc.
Juju - The Princess and the Frog
Envy - Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Roxy - Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (from my very first clutch... she was baby #4)
Rayne - webcomic character
Tippy - Pixar short "One Man Band"
Racecar, Dallara, & "Taku" - IndyCar
Nag (MBK) - Rikki Tikki Tavi (my husband named him)
As for the other pets...
My cats (Whitacre & Ticheli) are named for favorite concert band composers.
The sugar gliders are named using magic as the theme. Our first pair was Penn & Teller. (Penn has since passed away.) Then we added Elphaba, Fiyero, and Glinda.
Morgan, the dog, is, uh, named after Morgan Freeman. Because as a puppy in winter we would take him outside and he would sit on our feet, so we joked that he was a penguin puppy. The only penguin film we could think of was March of the Penguins, narrated by... Morgan Freeman.
Back when I had pet rats, they were all named for characters out of Orson Scott Card books... specifically the Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow series'.

Thanks!
Everyone always thinks it's from To Kill a Mockingbird but it's not. Several of the snakes are named in that series theme, I can't think of the name of the series offhand but it's by Wen Spencer and the first book is titled Alien Taste, it's a SyFy series.
I named my first snake Tavi while she was unsexed and then got a pair of Puget Sound garters and named them Rikki and Tikki, LOL! I no longer have them though. And I really like most of the Ender books, although I'm more partial to Bean's part of the story arc.
P.S. after 6 years on the forum, this is my first attempt at a multi quote, hope it works!

How did you do it? I always open another window and pull up the forum, quote someone and then copy and paste to my response in the original window.

On each post that you want to quote, click the little "+ icon next to the Quote button, then at the last quote that you want, press the Quote button and it brings up all of the ones you clicked in an advanced reply box like a normal one quote. There is a limit on how many you can quote in one post, though I don't remember how many that is, I think 6 or 7.
