SNAKE DEFIES GRAVITY! AKA: Lock your top.

Boy, I wish you all was my neighbors. You are so patient with my questions. And- big plus- you know so much I would feel like a visit to your houses was a school feild trip. I never was interested in breeding dogs, although I have freinds that do. But snakes are just different, what can I say.
As for naming, I raised a pig and named it Babe, after the movie Babe. I loved her to death, quite literally. She turned into great tasting sausage and bacon. So naming an animal doesn't always prevent you from doing what needs to be done in the end.

Sorry for the confusion, but I didn't produce these hatchlings. I bought them from Susan Willis, and they arrived on Tuesday. Had I produced them and they weren't ones I intended to keep, they would just have a label identifying gender, clutch and individual.

Names are either inspired by the snake, by the snake I someday want to breed it to, or by some theme running through my brain. Several of these hatchlings were named after entertainers. The anery mot is "Macey", after Macey Gray. The charcoal is "Erykah", after Erykah Badu. The normal mot is "Bone Thugs 'n Harmony", a rap group. "Holiday" is after Billie Holiday, but also after "Holiday Inn", the Xmas movie. As she will be paired with my snow het lav "Bing" (after Bing Crosby, the singer of "White Christmas"), Holiday seemed appropriate.

"Lacey", the lavender, was named for both her pattern, which reminded me of lace, and to match with her future mate, my lavender het hypo, "ShoeString". Shoestrings and laces.... :laugh: "Caruso" the hypo was named after David Caruso. My Miamis and hypos are all named after characters or actors on "CSI: Miami": "Caruso" for David Caruso, "Togo" for Jonathon Togo, who plays CSI Wolfe, and "Khandi", after Khandi Alexander, who plays the medical examiner. I have two 06 males from Joe Pierce named for characters on "NCIS", "Jethro", an Okeetee, is named for Mark Harmon's character, Jethro Gibbs, and "McGee" is named for Sean Murray's character, Tim McGee. When I get an Okeetee girl, she will be named after the much-tattooed lab geek, Abby.

The caramel is named "Charismo" because I bought him based on my reaction to his photo. He struck me as full of attitude and charisma. Finally, the two normals are named "Philbert" and "Hazel". For their names, let's just say I went a bit nuts :)

All my pets' names have significance, though there may be some complicated free association happening to find it :)

Nice to know that you are just as wacky as I am.

Gaia is Greek for Earth Spirit, Danu is Druid for Earth and Eluyanka is Semitic for Serpent of God. (God created humans out of earth).
