Hey all,

I've had a snake with no name for about 3 months now (ok I lie it's had a few but I didn't like 'em). I'm not sure what sex it is. I'm looking for something amazing. Please help.

Burmese Python

(anyone who post's Monty gets berated for being lame).

Also, are there any other reptile keepers in NS? If so what do you have?:)

"Willie".

"Willie".

If it only had one-eye then maybe:D

Aziraphale.

Kaa after the Jungle Book charactor.

You could go for something mythological (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28mythology%29). Pythons are called pythons because of the myth of Apollo slaying the giant snake at Delphi and claiming the oracle as his own. Some good names in Greek mythology. You could just go with "Apollo" - what the heck, god of the sun, of prophecy, medicine ... and a hell of a space program, too!

If it only had one-eye then maybe:DHeh. How about 'Lucifer'?

Love Muscle. :)

Thulsa Doom?

Yig? (father of serpents, cthulhu mythos)

Trilby63;11793614']Aziraphale.

Say wha'? Something I can pronounce and remember!!!!

Kaa after the Jungle Book charactor.

Same snake, but no.





I must add that I'm extremely hard to please when it comes to the naming of my animals, but bear with me:)

Apollo's a great name, but I already have a monitor lizard with that name! I didn't know the bit about how the pythons were named thanx!:cool:

I'm gonna have a good look into the mythology bit.

Heh. How about 'Lucifer'?

i was going to say the same thing... for some reason i have the tendency to suggest that for pretty much any pet smarter/more elegant than a dog

Lucifer's reserved for the day when I finally get a Desert Horned Viper (years away).

interesting.:)

I have a Royal Python named Miss Piggy!:D

Bob or Fred.

What a beauty! Given it's a Burmese Python, you might want to get yourself a book on the Burmese language - might give you some ideas.

Hooray! I made some one laugh :D

Thankyou! Oh....you meant the snake :p

Solid. Yeah, it's lame, I know. How's about Trevor? Or Igor? Paddy?

LOL My brother's called Trevor - he may take offense! Hmmmm.....if I named it Solid that'd imply that I could get over my hatred of Playstation which I'm just not willing to do. Not feeling the other two.

Name him Jesus. So that way is he ever bites you or something, you can be like " JESUS, why'd you do that for?" and it'd have double meaning.

Ok, then. Brian. Jimmy. Dom. Wallace. Jeremiah. Stefan. Steve. Dennis. Louise.

a) I think I'd burn in hell for blasphemy (if I wasn't an aetheist that is).
b) if it bites when full grown, I'm in serious trouble. Currently it's just a hatchling (all hatchling snakes come out biting) so i gotta put a lot of handling in to tame it and keep it tame. As they get older/bigger they're usually v.placid.

hehehe :D

Anything named wallace needs to die. Just as simple as that.

or how about hippo after hippocrates, he had a couple of twirly snakes and a staff and some code of medical ethics. well the snakes bit is relevant anyway.

I'm thinking they speak Burmese. :)

That was my first thought, but not all countries speak a language named after their country so I wasn't sure.

Well i know nothing about snakes, other than to run if they come near me :p

I have a ball python and a leopard gecko.

In other news, what about Jose. Thats a great name for a snake.

'My Main Squeeze'
'The Bionic Hug Machine'
or
'Ixnae the Akesnae'.

:)

I'm liking that not as a name though, maybe as a reference when showing people.....

"this is my bionic hug-machine - it's name is..."
or when someone calls
"sorry I gotta go....I'm playing with my bionic hug-machine at mo'!":D :p :)

Ok, then. Brian.
He's not the messiah...!:p
Dennis
My middle name
Louise.
My friend dated a Louise, I've never hated someone more.

Hippocrates? Crates with Hippo's in them???

I have a Ball, though they're called Royal Pythons mainly here. People in the US always refer to them as Ball python though so I'm guessing you're American??? Leopard Gecko's are cool, I had some until an accident occurred involving the cat:( I was gutted. Jose.... nope

Hippocrates? Crates with Hippo's in them???



no no no, hippo-kra-teez. he was a roman god of healing i think, along with his daughters panacaea, hygenia(sp?) and the other one. maybe greek, can't remember.

Catahoula.

call him Snake or Plissken the snake or just Plissken, (anybody get that one, lame Huh?)

Catahoula.

HI RAM!!!!!!!! Bizarre choice, but I kinda like it

(still enthralled with GW! Probably buy it tomorrow) :fluffle:

I get that, I was just trying (and failing it seems) to be funny:(

ah, sorry :) i only know about hippocrates cuz i did a medical history module for my history gcse. never met anyone else who'd done that course so i guessed no one would know about hippocrates. except doctors i suppose. :)

You should never underestimate the power of the Google-side of the Force!

I took history as a GCSE also, we didn't do any medical history bits though (though it was 11 years ago).

anyone said 'Snakey' yet?

(still enthralled with GW! Probably buy it tomorrow) :fluffle:
Hi yourself. :fluffle: Yes, it's a bizarre name. My train of logic went something like this. Name that snake? There are famous snakes? Oh, name your pet. Looks almost like a leopard print. I met a Catahoula leopard dog the other day, didn't look like a leopard at all. This does though. Catahoula leopard snake. Catahoula! Hmm, I wonder what Catahoula means. *gets distracted by chocolate*

*nods* :p

Yay, glad you like it! I've been spending a lot of time playing Factions recently, so I haven't been in the original campaign much. Perhaps this weekend though... :)

Did your research for you on burmese.
Turns out not to be very conductive for naming pets:

e`mQqM`Pt\ dangerous snake
e`mQqUeta\ harmless snake
e`mQSui; poisonous snake
e`mQ snake
e`mQ AlmXay\ Sra snake-charmer
e`mQlk\pp\ whip-snake

Snake Plissken in...Escape From Tiptree! Not really got the same ring to it...

Lol well it'd be good if I was the main star!

EDIT: no.....I can't back that up:(

anyone said 'Snakey' yet?

Erm....YOU did!:)

Geoffrey.

no

somebody got my lame reference, yay!

you just got to say in a movie-trailer voice, everything sound better then.

EDIT: no.....I can't back that up:(

How difficult can it be to escape from Tiptree? I imagine you might get stuck in the jam, but that's about it. Or fall in the pond, possibly.

Thankyou for doing that:) I'll give Burmese names a miss then methinks! I googled Burma, but then got sidetracked reading about the current atrocities committed by the dictatorship there. For looking after their populace it seems it's on a par with N.Korea.:(

Joe

I have two names for you

Peve - "this is my pet Peve"

Fun Gus - original and wacky! - I always wanted to name a band Fun Gus, but never started a band so something should have that name dammit!

hehehe, I think I'm the only one in Tiptree that's never been to the jam factory (and I've lived here 12 years).

Fall in the pond! You've been here:eek: Are you my stalker?:cool:

Ummmm are you still living around here? I forget.

so thats a no on Peve or Fun Gus eh?

Fun Gus would make a great band name, but not so much a snake name methinkssssssssssssssssss.

Pet Peve humurous but no.

Well I did say I was hard to please:rolleyes:

That methinks got me thinking of Weasel.
Also Twisty while I'm at it.

No, as in my first name :p

Didn't know it was a girls name, or is it unisex?(i hope so)

Well I always assumed Wade was a male name until I saw her, I would post a pic but I've completely forgotten the name of the series, and since you posted that it's been bugging me!!! Grr!@you!

Edit: I just remembered the series was called Sliders (you are now forgiven)!:)

Good idea.

There are a few words which I've always thought were wasted on ordinary stuff instead of being used as names. These include Ammonia and Linoleum and Cholera. Maybe your snake could use one of these for a name?

Name it Wiener Woman.

I actually thought you meant Snake from MGS(whose name is David). Then I remembered the bit where he's on the snowmobile with Otacon and they start using each other's real names(Hal and Dave), which reminded me of Hal not letting Dave do that.

how about 'worm'. it'd be like calling a boy lindsey or something so it has to really fight to be badasssssss.

Ourobouros - that's the snake eating its own tail, symbolizing eternity.

Interesting line of thought but doesn't suit it. I like Mexican black Kingsnakes - not generally a Kingsnake fan, but Mexican Black, Desert and Florida Kings are cool.

Snakey McSnake.

Nope

I seriously doubt that anyone will get this reference, but I always liked the name Asmodeus for a snake.:)

I didn't get it (never heard of Redwall until here). It's a great name - I have another snake without a name which that suits so now I have a male Stinking Goddess (http://www.boakingdom.com/carinata-2.jpg)called Asmodeus!!!! (I have a female also called Pandora!) BIG COOKIE for you!
*hands biggest cookie on earth*
Enjoy!

Fang's for your input but no way.

Horatio Manbreasts.

Hehehe can I have what you're smoking?????:D

No way! Though we only have 3 snake species in England which is a bit crap, saying that I have 6 species (and a hybrid) in my flat!:cool:

how about 'worm'. it'd be like calling a boy lindsey or something so it has to really fight to be badasssssss.

Excellent. :) I've never been a fan of naming a pet after another animal anyway. Actually I've only come across one case of this happening, I had a friend whose dog was named Chicken. Equally randomly, the name "Mr. Squeezy the Bionic Hug Machine" reminds me of a cat I knew when I was little whose name was "Zippy the Pinhead". All I remember about this cat is its name and the fact that it liked to chase/eat geckos. :p

plus I have one called Mindy already:)

hehehe don't worry - the guy's a pro! that one was 16ft which is about average size, they can reach up to 21ft.

You probably think I'm nuts now, but I've been interested in snakes as far back as I can remember, I've kept many and had a burmese before which I sadly had to rehome along with most of my animal collection due to moving:(. Now I am settled and have both the knowledge and room. The hardest thing I had to give up was my old green phase (V.rare colour phase) Burmese called Ceaser :(

Yeah, when the owner of the dog I met told me its breed, I gave her dog a funny look and mumbled something along the lines of, "but it doesn't look anything like a leopard." She couldn't explain it to me. *shrug*

From what I read also it'd probably end up being banned over here due to it attributes. Pitbulls are banned in UK, along with Japanese Toza, Filo Braziliero and another breed I can't remember due to several bad happenings, which is a shame cos when people don't mess them up, pitbulls are really nice (my sister had one). In the wrong hands they're dangerous. I'm sick of the whole "my dog's harder than your dog" mentality. I'm wondering how long it'll be before Rottweilers join their ranks, recently a little girl was killed by two (the owners (who was the girls grandparents) were then later assaulted - 1 was killed) and then a few days later another kiddie got mauled. People suck.:(

Anywho....now you're officially the greatest, randomest ultimate frisbee player I know! :fluffle:

Pitbulls aren't banned here, though if some people had their way they probably would be. In my life, I've never met a pitbull that was anything other than sweet. One of my best friends when I lived in Malaysia had a pitbull that was just a little lovebug. Very sweet; she used to just come up to you, lay her head on your lap, and look at you with her big eyes til you started petting her. Then she would roll over on her side so you could get her tummy. :) Back to bans on dogs though, my apartment complex doesn't allow pits or rotts (sad, because the rotts I know are even sweeter than the pitbulls). Both breeds have bad reputations, but if trained properly from puppyhood they're no more aggressive than any other dog might be (at least in my experience, I'm not an expert on the subject).

All true. Worst dog I had was a mean bastard of a Jack Russell, when I was little(9ish). I tripped, fell on him and he tore my top lip in 2 (I now have a permanent scar but has faded greatly over the years). My parents asked me if I wanted him to be put down but I said no as he was still my dog (he'd bitten loads of times on other occasions but nothing major like this). Saying that people have been killed by the snake I have in this thread (the species not the actual one:p ) animals are dangerous in the hands of idiots.

I had a similar experience when I was little. My very first dog was mean little mutt that we got from someone who was moving and couldn't keep him. His previous owners probably didn't treat him very well, because he was alternately mean and timid when we first got him. I went to pet him once when we hadn't had him for very long, and he reacted violently. Scratched me on the face, and left scars that didn't fade for over ten years. My current dog is a Jack Russell mix (although, apparently I'm now supposed to call him a Parson Russell mix?), but he's very sweet. :)

that's lenient methinksssssss

Me too, that warranted a good DEATing in my eyes.

I had a similar experience when I was little. My very first dog was mean little mutt that we got from someone who was moving and couldn't keep him. His previous owners probably didn't treat him very well, because he was alternately mean and timid when we first got him.

Parson Russell? Aw..... I kinda like my scar now(yes I'm a freak) it goes with the MANY I have on my arms! No I'm not a self-mutilating emo before you ask! Most of 'em were from my chicken farming days and being Diabetic scratches tend to scar easily. I'm working on tattoo-ing over some of the arm ones though - aiming for a full arm tribal! (money stops that at mo grr!);)

For a triple posting of porn I'd say so!

Not keen on Waldo though.

I just popped that one in there to get away from the "S" names. I got to thinking about it though, and you could always play the game of Where's Waldo. Just hide your snake and watch the fun ensue as everyone tries to guess where your snake is.

:D
