I have two sulcata rescues. One came with his name, Zeus, the other one is Dixie. She originally came from the town of Dixon.
We raised cattle once. We didnt want to name them, so we called them other things.. #47, his ear tag number, The red one, and one who gave us quite the rodeo and trouble.. Renegade. So some sorta had names so we knoew who we were talking about... but its funny how some things Become 'names'.

We have over 200 snakes, and only a few have little pet names that usually have something to do with their personality or size. lol Ive had large numbers of snakes in the last 15 years and only the really special ones end up with names. Its just too hard to keep up with hundreds of names. I just recently named my Box Turtles and Tortoises! I was so used to not naming the herps. I too used to raise cattle and goats and again, only the special ones really got names or a nick name. Our steers and heifers that were raised specifically for meat were usually called HB (hamburger) or Sirloin or Roast. lol
LOL this thread is to funny.
Anja, I'll come to your house and name all your snakes, I'll make up nametags and everything!

That's what we did with the pigs...Porkchops, Bacon, and Ham. Sorta subtle reminders to never forget what their future was going to be.
My kids do most of the animal naming, or at least until recently when everybody pretty much is gone. When I name the torts is usually along a theme. Bells Hingebacks are things like Ding, Dong, Chimes, ect. The American Boxies are Indian tribes. RES and Paints we went with rivers/creeks/lakes. Russians are Russian names. Spots are Polka and Dot. You get the idea.

No doubt there!
ROFL! Maybe we'll have to come in the Spring when they can be OUTSIDE, it's SO much easier that way because, um, yah they do bring a bit of energy with them when they travel in a "pack" (definately too unruly to just be called a "group")! LOL! Oh, they do drink regular milk, though!
In fact I have to limit THAT or they'd drink 2 or 3 gallons a day!
Yes the Spring sounds fantastic! We have 80 acres and 3 ponds to keep them busy!
They would definatly stay busy there Anja. What do you have in your ponds???
