Hopefully this one isnt a duplicate thread like my one about usernames!
Some of the names I've seen on here are great, what do some of the more cryptic ones mean and why did you give your snake the name they have?
With Jessie, we didnt know if she was a boy or a girl so gave her the name Jessie as it could be easily turned into Jesse if she turned out to be a fella  |

My corn is called Luna, after trying and testing Cornflake and I kind of just liked it and I saw it on a list and was trying to get my husband to let me name our youngest daughter Luna a few years back (he wouln't let me) and my Royal when I pick her up will be called Eclipse ;-) |

Ha - better update my lot -
Ziska is a very young very at the moment feisty gopher snake - but these have a good reputation of being totally placid as adults. I'd first heard of the name 'Ziska' as the title of a Victorian novel and since gophers come from California ...
San Francisco...Franziska... fits... hmm... googled novel, its subtitle is 'the problem of a wicked soul' ...
Well, live in hopes, eh?
Also on the way, on order, my very last snake, as I really have no more room, but a snake I cannot resist, a caramel motley corn ...In keeping with the corny American motif, this snake will probably be called Shiloh, which means 'gift'.
Hell of a lot better than an Easter egg! |

Dio was named in honour of the late Ronnie James Dio and Asti was named after the drink as she's light coloured and bubbly (my other rat was called merlot as she was dark and full bodied) |

Guybrush is named after the hero in one of my favourite computer games Monkey Island. Cassiopeia is named after the constellation which is a bit wiggly looking like her, the constilation is in tern named after a character in Greek mythology. Smaug is named after the dragon from the Hobbit. My two cats Axos and Sutekh are both Doctor Who villains.
So a right old mixed bag really |

Diablo was the name we wanted for our boa, but we couldnt fit a boa viv in so we gave it to the next royal to pop along.
Cleo is named after cleopatra who took a liking to royal pythons.
Valhalla is named after odin's mead hall as i'm obsessed with norse mythology and gods.
Anubis will be my new mojave, seems fitting for a mojave morph.
Our pinstripe doesnt have a name yet
LIES KELFEZOND! You DID fit a boa in :P A big bloody boa at that |

Ha - you have a snake named Lilith?
you know Lilith was supposedly the first wife of Adam - although a deity in her own right, and because she refused to submit to patriarchal rule she was cast out of Eden, so she had a bit of fun shape changing into a snake ...
....well, wasn't Adam's fault was it?
Just thought the missus was giving him his apple crumble ...
Snakes are craftier than they make out! |

Just have to add an update ...
For a while now I've known there was a snow or albino corn coming, even though I don't usually care for pale coloured snakes. I also knew she would need a bit of understanding. (If this sounds weird, I can't help it - it's not the first time an animal has announced itself long before its arrival.) A few days ago I knew her name was Mistletoe. Then I went on Preloved and there she was, a year old snow stripe corn with 'a little bit of an attitude problem.' Therefore not a 'family pet' or a snake for a complete novice.
She's fabulous. And she let me handle her today with no trouble, but she is viv-defensive, so I'll be careful in the weeks to come, of course.
So, that's my new addition, Mistletoe, or, her corny American nickname, Missy ... |

Well I can only explain a few names as some are +25 rated :)
Wednesday is named after Wednesday in The Adams family as she`s a dark looking YB
Kinky Malinki got named after the DJ, because sometimes when she wobbled it looked like she was raving.
Apple the Pinstripe, the day we bought her she made this tight little ball all the way home and when we got home and took her out the bag she stayed in that little ball in my hand and she looked just like an apple.
Phiaska my girlfriend liked the name(but got a little more to it)
Luna is named after The goddess of the moon.
Pacino got his name as I'm an Al Pacino fan and when we got him he had this gangster look(sounds strange but its true lol)
Then our odd ball we named The Odyssey. Odysseus went on a long journey after the Trojan war and that journey were called The Odyssey. Me and Tanya looked at it this way, its gonna be a long "journey" trying to prove him out. (If that all makes sence LOL)
