So What's Your Snake(s) Called?

[Jillie]

My two little babies are called "Flakes" a year old Amel, and my ickle "Murphy" a 4mth old Carolina.

 

[mommyof2]

Eddy is my only snake so far. He was named that because he has a perfect scissor pattern on his head(Edward Scissorhands). And hopefully soon I'll get a breeding pair...their names will be Bonnie and Clyde.

How did I leave off Mrs. Muir, my 05 ghost girl? Hmmm....

Surprise new additions this week are Viggo, Pasha, Sabra and Tiny Dancer, four stunning creamsicle stripe/cubes from Shane Ebert. As Pasha and Sabra might have tipped off, one of my guilty pleasures is, "So You Think You Can Dance" Tiny Dancer is an homage to Elton John that fit the theme, and Viggo is, obviously, Viggo Mortensen. He is one of the most uniquely beautiful men of all time, and his namesake is a uniquely beautiful snake. The four almost got stuck with much more mundane names, but I finally got some caffeine in my system and the brain leaped back to life.

Coming later this month are Ziva, Cashew and Capt. Gregg, all of which directly relate to other snakes I listed previously, as well as Prymaat, Beldar and DeCicco, a theme unto themselves.

 

[Kilala]

I'm sure everyone who's ever seen my threads knows this, but my little female normal is named Cornflakes. Not sure when she hatched, but she's about 20 inches long and 40 grams.

 

[Plissken]

My cornsnake cross is named Connor, after a character from a TV show. My baby rainbow boa is named Willow, after a character from the same show.

My python's name is Chester, after a musician I am a fan of.

If Mrs. Muir is a ghost what is Capt. Gregg? Oh, let me guess - another ghost. That is my favorite love story.

My new snakes are Bolivian Short Tail Boas: the female is Ashookie which is Wapamnoague Indian and means snake and the male is Skog which is Abenaki Indian and means snake.

I have three new corns coming but I haven't gotten names for them yet.

 

[GillyMonster]

No reason for my madness :crazy02: one is named Blackjack he is black white and silver in color and Natasha because I love Russian girl names. :cheers:

All of mine are in my signature, but I can throw a quick explanation to them (not like a few of them need it).

Tootse - I tend to call things that are dear to me, 'tootse'. One day, I was showing her off to my 6 year old cousin and she asked what her name was. I told her she didn't have a name yet. I proceeded to call the snake 'tootse' about 3 times doing the course of the handling session, so Jacey suggested I call her 'Tootse'. The name stuck, I guess.

Duckey - Heh, I've tried changing him name multiple times, but I always go back to Duckey. The people who had him before me called him that (their daughter had a thing for ducks). *shrugs*

Kebechet - Egyptian goddess that often took the form of a Snake. One of my favorite 'little known' goddesses from Egypt. So, a beautiful snake got a beautiful name.

Hephaestus - His coloring reminds me of molten metal, and since Hephaestus was the Greek God of fire and forge, voila. He was easy to name.

Dantess - Yeah, my sister named this one. She's got a thing for Jim Caviezel (sp?) and her favorite movie with him in it is The Count of Monte Cristo. Poor little snow... But hey, if it'll get her more into snakes, so be it. :grin01:

Schlampe - Our German exchange student named this one after she saw the Rosy sample 4 out of 5 appendages on my left hand. It translates to b**ch. If you've checked out my Myspace page, that'd be why I was wearing a surgical glove in the picture. I'd had enough of removing Rosy from my fingers for one night. I found it very suitable, so I kept it. Haha...

And that's all. Nothing poetic about me, I'm afraid.

 

[MerlinsPop]

My 6 year old likes to call everything what it is with an "ie" tacked on. The car is "Carie," his stuffed bear is "bearie," etc. He wanted to call the snake, "snakie" but then noticed the head pattern makes a "V" (like almost all corn snakes) and liked that so I suggested "Vern" before he came up with "Vee-ie" which I know was forming in his little head.

 

[CALIVIK]

'Little Dani' is our 07' Candy Cane (DD named hers)

'Grason Manners' is our 07' Anery (DS named mine) :shrugs:

'Cindy' is our 07' Sunglow Motley (DS named his)

 

[DaGiant]

'04 1.0 Miami - still thinking on it.. (Marino ? but he's Red & Gold

'05 1.0 Striped Motley - Flame (red & orange color looks like fire)
'07 1.0 Normal het Lava - Rocket (fast as heck)
'07 0.1 Lavender - Lovey (she's just Beautiful)

[ALGeckos]

We named ours Wendell

I (Aimee) was actually the one that came up with the name because Leon named all the Geckos I thought of it while driving because I wanted it to be a guy's name (since he's a male) and I wanted it to be cute - hehehe.
