>>This is kind of silly. I know most people name their pets. My dogs have names. i have 6 snakes and a gecko and i havent named named any of them in the 5 years ive been in this hobby. Is that strange? I refer to my snakes as 'pueblan' or 'anery corn' ect.

Some of mine have names, some don't (see my sig below). Most of the names are in the ancient languages of the regions where they came from (Quechua, Creek Indian, and so on), and several of the names mean "snake" or "snake-like" in those languages. I'm easily amused.
