A special addition

[EasternGirl]

I just learned that I will be getting a special addition to my snake family and I am very excited. I was looking for a roomie for Hermes and his breeder has entrusted me with the care of a very special snake. An Iowa Snow Plains baby who has some neurological problems is going to come to live with Hermes. He is very healthy but he likes to do things upside down! He sleeps upside down sometimes and apparently, also eats upside down. I am looking forward to caring for this special little fellow and observing the interesting way he lives his little life. I want to find a special name for him so I am hoping that my friends on the forum can give me some suggestions. Something that will honor his unique qualities.

hmmm, Marnie...good luck with this one...call him Tripping

Oh come on now Joe...he is over 6 mos old and he is doing fine. He is perfectly normal except he likes to do a couple of things upside down. I think it's cute. He needs love and a good home and Jason knows I take great care of my snakes so he offered him to me. I wanted to give him a good home...he deserves that, doesn't he?

if it was a girl, I'd suggest Supine so you could call her Sue. how about Galileo because he's always looking at the stars?

Call him Flip.

I'm not calling him Tripping! Joe! I was thinking about Powder because of that movie with the albino kid...remember that movie? But I don't know if I like that for a name. I was also thinking about Gilbert...because of What's Eating Gilbert Grape? But I don't know if I like that name either. Were there any Greek or Roman gods who were handicapped or challenged in some way? I like Greek and Roman god names...

aww, i like Tripping

[gregmonsta]

I'd go for Topsy

Well...I could call him Professor X or Lt. Dan (Forrest Gump). They were both handicapped...but could kick butt...I think Powder might be fitting though if you ever saw the movie. The kid was albino and a genius but misunderstood...it was a really awesome movie.
