:I have a total of six snakes in my collection right now. Three have names. My Rosy is Zues, the ball is Murder the male Hogg island is Hades. I need names for a female hogg island, a male red tail and a female red tail. The male and female red tails are a breeding pair, an suggestions are welcome
:Thanks

This is where it pays off to read good books. There are literally thousands of names out there to name a pet. One of the benefits of doing your own research in order to decide on a name is that you will likely have gotten a lot more info than just a name when you first saw it in a literary work. For instance, if you read some Greek mythology, when you see a name like Zeus you would know he was the ruler (often contested by the other gods) of the Greek Gods. That he lived on Mount Olympus. That he was rather violent, prone to anger and had a passion for human women (thereby if I remember correctly giving rise to the demigod Hercules aka: Heracles).

What I am suggesting is that you look for the name yourself. It is much more fun, much more informative, and much more satisfying to select one yourself, than to have someone else do it for you.

Good luck,
Glenn Bartley
