When I saw your post topic the first thing that came to mind was "Slinky".

I see other posters like the name also.

Your Snake will be very pleased with the name "Slinky"

i have a 3.5 foot iguana that looks at me and comes to the side of his cage im on when i say his name. he also watches tv. he seems to like ddr2 when my kids play it, he gets as close as he can and sticks his head up in the air.


as for naming him, just sit on it for a few days (not the snake) and one will come to ya. best way to do it.

My thoughts too. My ball python is simply "snake."

As they get bigger, they move less and will basically let you hold them however long you want. Corn snakes are slightly more energetic and will be more restless than a python or boa, which will sit there like a bump on a log.

It can be kind of nice though to have the snake out without needing to "tend" it constantly. If I'm going to have the snake out for awhile, I'll give him a bath so he's not all dirty (when he "goes" in the aquarium, there's a LOT of liquid, and it just gets everywhere), and then drape him around my neck. It takes him a little while to get settled in, and I can get a neck massage in the process, but eventually he'll sit there sort of like a necktie, with his head hanging down, and his tail wrapped around his own "neck" once. I think he goes to sleep then, as I can move my hand in front of him and he won't respond at all.

Thirded! Great name.

Congrats on the new snake! They are (arguably) the best pets.

1. Don't need to be walked
2. Once they reach adulthood (about 1 year) you feed them once every 2-3 weeks
3. Bowl of water will last at least a week...and they get most of their water from food anyway
4. DON'T MAKE ANY DAMN NOISE AT ALL!
5. No allergy problems!
6. Coolness factor; everyone's got a dog or a cat
7. Bigger constrictors can eat your neighbors' annoying cat

You've obviously never heard a snake fart.
Seriously.
It is ridiculous how loud it is. If you're lucky, it won't startle you to the point of producing your own gaseous emission.
(On that note...)


Once I'm done with college, and hopefully with a job that pays well, I'd like to start breeding ball pythons. I don't know if there's money in it, as I don't really plan on breeding for special traits (certain colorations bring in hundreds or thousands of dollars), I just know that people would want them as pets, and the more that are bred domestically, the fewer will be imported. Captive-raised snakes will also be more docile, and won't have parasites like wild ones. Plus, they can be fed pre-killed feeder mice from birth, so they'll be fully acclimated to pre-killed meals.
I buy my frozen feeders from BigAppleHerp.com. They ship their feeders by UPS 2-day, and they come very well packed, complete with fiberglass insulation and dry ice. The boxes also say "Frozen Meat" or something to that effect.
And it is a lot less unpleasant to feed it pre-killed mice than live ones. Less risk of injury to the snake, too.
