[sschind]

Reminds me of a joke.

What do you call a dog with no legs?



I doesn't matter, he won't come anyway.


On topic though, I have only had one snake that has ever had a name and he has had probably about a dozen of them.

When I first got him (a 12 foot albino Burmese python) I took him to my sisters kindergarten class and of course all the kids wanted to know his name. I told him that he didn't have a name yet and that if they wanted they could come up with a good name for it. His first name was fluffy. He has also been known as Banana split, sunflower, mr squeeze, lemonade and several others that I forget. One that sticks in my mind though is the name one of my employees gave him "Sarah" don't ask me why. She knew it was a male but she named him Sarah anyway. Its the only reptile I have owned that has had a name.

My nephew has a rabbit that he keeps in my store and he named it Hopper so I just started calling him Dennis. (the rabbit, not my nephew)

I've thought about looking back into mythology and stuff like that to come up with clever names but I just never get into it.

one time a friend I was walking with, ran into one of his friends, he hadn't seen in a while
his friend was in a rush, so they just exchanged a few sentences and as the guy walked away, he yelled back over his shoulder "call me"
my friend yelled back "call you what?"

as to new names in my zoo
you've met Rorschach - who needs an explanation?
and I'm contemplating "Babe" for the new florida blue - to inspire her to grow big and blue

[Garter_Gertie]

Pickles (Pug), named after a Beatrix Potter dog character.

Mayo, (Pug), changed from Mya - which I didn't like - and goes with "Pickles" because everyone thinks I named him after the pickled cucumber anyway (sigh).

Morerarity Dickens, The Artful Badger (muttly cat), because he's a classic Tabby - more rare than stripped, is a little dickens, and took Dickens further with Artful Badger because he can sit up on his haunches like a badger. Usually called Dickens, Dickie-Dog, The Dog.

Wes (muttly cat), also a classic tabby and named after my father.

Kids Blue Neon of Aten Ra (blue Aby), I didn't name him - his breeder did - and he's named after a race horse.

Aten Ra Went Back To The Future (ruddy, usual Aby), I'd hoped to take the breed back to an older style, away from the very pointed heads of today. Always called Puddy, Puddin'-Head, Pud.

PeeWee (red Aby), never registered and called PeeWee because she is.

Sly (muttly cat), stipped tabby. And he IS!!!

Peepers (NY Common Eastern Garter), has big eyes.

Jeepers (NY Common Eastern Garter), goes with Peepers.

Kenabec (brown phase Western Hognose), a native MN snake and is Ojibway for "snake."

Niizh (green phase Western Hognose), is Ojibway for "two."

Two Puget Sound Garters from Alaska given the Inuit names of Kunikpok "kisses," and Tungortok, "is blue."

One Puget Sound Garter named 'Rockster after GartersRock.

One, soon to have Eastern Milk Snake, sex unknown. Will be named after his/her mother, Carmella, and so will be Carmello or Carmella II.
