My new african pygmy hedgehog!!!

Well I have been doing research for sometime on African Pygmy Hedgehogs and I saw an ad on craigslist for a 2 year old hedgie that came with her cage and all her toys. So I emailed the person and picked her up tonight! She is so adorable and very friendly. It was very hard to put her back in her habitat to settle in for the night after i snapped these picks of her. Her previous owner named her squish but I think such a distinguished hedge could use a proper name so if you have any good suggestions let me know!
Here are is a quick pic of her.

We have a nearly two year old albino hedgie named Annabelle. She was named after a hedgehog character in a kids book.
 
Being a British History buff, I am rather partial to Lady or Queen Elizabeth :)

I tried to convince Adam that British royal houses would make great snake names: Lancaster, York, Tudor, Hanover, Windsor, etc....

Guess I'll have to wait til I get more snakes of my very own....Cornwallis is kind of a shared-custody corn :)
 
squish? SQUISH? That's an awful name. How about Poinky? I like that much better, though I guess it's not really dignified.

At first I would have suggested Libby, a form of Elizabeth. However, I quite like Evelyn, Evee for short.
