Need a new name for this hybrid cross

bluerosy Mar 15, 2004 02:14 PM

It is for a columbian boa X Dumerals boa. The names normally used for hybrids are a descriptive combination of say...Cornduran (cornXhonduran)..or ..Carpondro (chondroXcarpet python)...Sincal.. (sinloanXcalif king) ect,,

Can anyone come up with a good name for this new hybrid?

I have to admit that Dumbian crossed my mind...the other option would be Columeril's.

You're just lucky you don't have to deal with the word 'Madagascar'.

I think it will be a bit easier if you use the scientific names...

like........

impereril....

nope...

dumeritor...

constriceril?

ok, that's not easier.

Good one KK on the Dumboid!. I really like that name but not sure the market could bear it, LOL! . Coldumeril is probably a better choice but it sounds like a cough medicine. Any other ideas or should it be one of these two?

Have the babies dropped yet? If so post an image--you don't really have to use the joining of the two names you may be able to find a name you like describing what they look like.

The babies have not dropped yet. They take forever with these larger boids.

How about DumboColumbo ?

They all have a nice ring to them. Dumb columbian is cute and so is dumb-columbian but I am still stuck on Dumboid.
