    Re: Names

    I don't think I've ever had an animal I didn't name . We've had cats and dogs named Jasper, Linus, Atticus [Finch], Nixie, Froth, Ariel, Luke, Cyrus, Suvvy, Hobbes, Petra, etc. My last two beardies were named Thistle and Chewy (he ate with his mouth wide open). Our snakes have been Zaccheus, Caa, Chakah, Ophelia, Tobias, etc. etc. My current snakes are Tannin (hebrew for serpent, african house snake) and Tread (a garter of some sort). We even name our chickens!

    Cool Re: Names

    I have no names for my snakes.
    It's female 1, male 2, etc.

    Re: Names

    Mostly I do not name my snakes. At the moment only one has a name... 'Olive' my female T. marcianus.

    Re: Names

    I named my first two snakes, but only so that I would have an answer if somebody ever asked what their names are. I just don't feel comfortable naming animals that don't learn to respond to their names.

    Re: Names

    The kids named them Saphira & Fiona. Here, even the Betta fish gets a name (Spike).

    Re: Names

    If I know I'm keeping a critter, I name it, though with ones that look alike, like my emperor scorpions, it'll be hard to tell who's who. Maybe I'll name them all "Bob" lol.

    If mine come with names, I keep those, otherwise, I'm on a polynesian name spree

    My iguanas are: Jake, Gravy, Speedy, Marley, and Kauai.
    My beardie girl is Maui.
    My uromastyx boy is Blade (aka Dr. Leakey cause he used to hiss at me)
    My male bp is Fiji.
    My cats are: Idgie, Texas (or Tex), Butters, and Scooter. Ones that have passed are: Bubba, Tofu, Percy, Casey, Ellie, Gus.
    My dogs are: Sammy and Gracie. Passed ones are: Buddy and Sally (the D!ck Van Dyke Show), and Jake.

    I can't decide on names for my tarantulas yet, so I'm taking suggestions!

    I can't tell my garter babies apart, so they're just "the Garters, party of six."
