    Re: Whats the deal with giving your snakes names?

    Sounds like something you'd hear on Family Guy.
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    They are our pets. We love them. They each have their own individual personalities, therefore they each have their own name. It's just like naming a fish, cat, dog, or hamster.

    The only reason I wouldn't name an animal is if I was planning on cooking and eating it.

    We name all of our pets, including our fish. So why not something as interactive as a garter snake? Though we have themes for naming our pets.

    Re: Whats the deal with giving your snakes names?

    I name all my animals with the exception of my Tarantula. My first few have names but then I gave up as I couldn't possibly remember all of them. I do agree about names giving an extra emotional attachment and it benefiting the care you give the animal. All my animals get the same amount of care though.

    Generally speaking I'll call any animal I have something based on how they are acting at the time. My poor cat gets called all number of things.....
