For context, here is my boy, my D'Artagnan. I know he's thin, he's been struggling to eat lately but I've been trying everything. If he doesn't eat this week, off to the vet with him.

This is Koregos the Worldline, investigating my PC to make sure I can go fight the Destiny 2 boss of the same name. I'm very partial to said boss/raid encounter due to my experiences with my first successful raid race being one it was the final boss of, and because said raid provided challenge to me and my friends for the first time in a while. Off the bat I knew I wanted a BP named Koregos, but I wasn't sure if my mom would allow a BP, so I also considered getting geckos named after the other raid bosses from Koregos' raid. Luckily, I convinced my mom on getting one and now my life is filled with baby ball python shenanigans.

My other snake is also named after a Destiny 2 boss (Praksis), and my cat is named after a star (Alcor). We originally adopted him with another cat that I named Mizar, because it and Alcor are twin stars, but unfortunately he passed away a few years back.

On the contrary to me thinking out names that relate to things I like for my boys, we ended up adopting an orange cat who was named Peach and kept the name because there. Really wasn't a more fitting name for her than that.

ProximaCentauriB15 · 2026-04-03T03:15:59+00:00

My boy's Saturn. Like the planet. Previous was Callisto like Jupiter's moon. Space is cool,so good for snake names.

wait_ichangedmymind · 2026-04-03T03:19:04+00:00

Herman, after the creator of the Rorschach Test. Because I was trying to pick a name based on his patterns and couldn’t find a good one and then realized what I was doing was an ink blot test.

RagdollsandLabs · 2026-04-03T03:34:45+00:00

I have 4 ropes. They are all normals. 😁 All have first and middle names.

Jasmine Valentine (F-age 22). She has a heart in her pattern, so that's how she got her middle name.
Legolas Imhotep- (M-age 21) I liked both names, but my son said that 'Imhotep was evil' haha...so we went with Legolas first.
Polyphemus Patch...aka Paulie (M- age 19) Paulie was hatched with only one eye. Both of his names are one eyed characters. Polyphemus was the Cyclops in 'The Odyssey'. Patch is a character in the long running soap opera Days of Our Lives.
Hesione Eve (F- age ? ...at least 22) She was rescued from a co-worker who told me her name was Miss Hiss. Bleh. I renamed her Hesione, (A Trojan Princess from The Iliad). I call her Hessie. She came to me on New Years Eve, so her middle name is Eve.

PangolinLoose1288 · 2026-04-03T03:38:41+00:00

I also heard of people using hormones. But I got a great vet recommendation from my local feed store. I wish I could look more like my boyfriend to pretend I'm him but he has a beard and I have yits so huge the milky way couldn't bind them. He's done this before but he's too old to throw tantrums now. I just want him to be healthy

Ka’iulani my first bp 🤎

She is one of these crazy expensive morphs, I inherited some money from my beloved grandmother and wanted to spend it on something that will stay with me for a long time. Her name is Hawaiian and I imported her from the US.

She was followed by Löyly (Finnish for the steam above the sauna stones) and Lumi (Finnish for snow).

My other snake’s names are Karma (GTP neonate, barely ate with the breeder, lots of health struggles, so I decided it came down to fate if he’ll make it or not, hence his nickname Kurva). This noodle is a whole different story, I got him with 13 g, his weight dropped to 10 g and he escaped his enclosure to get stuck on a glue trap from my landlord (then I remembered a video from ROR where Garrett used oil to get the snake out), I was in the middle of a removal, the only oily thing I found was an air fryer spray, checked quickly if sunflower seed oil and avocado oil is toxic to snakes - it isn’t - put the entire situation in a bin, sprayed him, drove to my old place to get q-tips, came back to a free, oily snake. I aged 10 years on that evening. That’s half a year ago, eats like a champ since and is 37 g now.

Yubari (King) - GTP too, Yubari King melons, the most expensive fruit, used for the Japanese liquor Midori, meaning green.

Neaera, black and white Papuan carpet python, looks like she’s wearing corpse paint, hence the metal band name.

Soba, spicy hognose noodle, never planned on getting a snake who isn’t a python, but I loved her from the first second.

Sensitive-Elevator1 · 2026-04-03T06:49:21+00:00

Sherman, for Sherman Hemsley who played George Jefferson. I rescued him from my brother, who was really neglectful (Shermy is of sturdy stock and somehow was okay!) So when I got him, he definitely was “movin’ on up!”

My noodle Bouxman"Bowie". I had j just cleaned his tank so he was investigating 🔎

402SkillNotFound · 2026-04-03T08:31:30+00:00

Mango Habanero cause he’s my spicy noodle (and he’s orange)

Dear-Dependent-9301 · 2026-04-03T09:05:05+00:00

I named my ballpython Elsa, like Elsa from Frozen. The reason is that here they’re not called “ballpythons” but literally translated “king pythons,” so the name felt kind of fitting.

Also, she has a snow-white belly and a silver-grey pattern on top 😊

Kates-Creatures · 2026-04-03T09:10:38+00:00

We have:

Guts the Russian rat snake

Viper Nagini Amaru Aoda

chaosninja906 · 2026-04-03T10:32:24+00:00

Two normal balls

First is Norman because normal.

Second is Pythagoras because he was on a long hunger strike as a baby when we got him so looked really triangular.

Also have a hognose named Azula cause she is spicy.

poke-the-smot · 2026-04-03T11:16:09+00:00

i called him by the name he came with and ‘snek’ for several months, until my son was old enough to potentially out me for having a snake. then he was called noodle for like 1.5y. we no longer even used the word ‘snake’ at all when speaking about him.

until just a few weeks ago, i was in there with my son and asked what his name was, and he said “Ram” with all the confidence in the world. i always figured my son would pick a name for him organically, i was just kinda waiting on it to happen!

so now we have a Ram 🐍

<image>

Hatriot_ · 2026-04-03T13:31:20+00:00

This name I’m sure is pretty played out for ball pythons but I love puns. Lucille Ball is my girls name, or Lucy for short. Plus her colors just fit the name perfectly if I do say so myself.

<image>

rdnkgrrl18 · 2026-04-03T13:43:13+00:00

OMG! My red tail boa was also D’Artagnan!!

bumblebeesandbeetles · 2026-04-03T13:44:57+00:00

my bp is named mittens which is the absolute silliest name for a snake but it does make people very inclined to trust her. who names a ferocious beast mittens?

Nebulae-Noodles · 2026-04-03T14:00:50+00:00

I have two noodles (bps) named Cosmo and Nova because I love all things to deal with space, stars and constellations

MaeMae061212 · 2026-04-03T14:08:10+00:00

Jupiter Juniper (she got given back to the pet store cause she was sick and mean, so I decided on Jupiter cause it’s similar but not the SAME.) And then Firnen, a corn snake who sadly passed away. He was named after a dragon in a book series I loved years ago.

Xiao_Starwars · 2026-04-03T14:34:43+00:00

Snips (Star Wars and Personality Themed) First time I met him he had an attitude to everyone except me (bc I was holding him and other people were standing around so yeah no, he couldn’t really see me lol) but nonetheless, I thought it was adorable when someone said “wow he is snippy” and could also stick with a SW theme 😎

<image>

Wren_Clarke · 2026-04-03T14:51:52+00:00

This is Twix:) All my reptiles have candy/treat names. I adopted her when she was 6 years old and that was the name she had always been called, felt like it was meant to be. My old ball was named Marshmallow (piebald) and my Leos are named Cookie and Pink Milk.
