I have a wild caught corn and I'M not sure what to name her. She seems to have a darker red to me than normal wild one so i looked up named that meant fire or flame. Here's a list of the names i found.Please suggest more and tell me if you like these.
Paytah
Pyralis
Freyja
Freya
Aideen
Keegan / Kegan
Blaze
Kaelyn

ohhh and Pyre

I always go for cute and strange names. My leo's name is daisy, im naming my soon to come corn snake squeakers or princess peach, and my next herp's ( hopefully a different specie snake ) name will be the name I didnt pick for the corn. :D I would probably name him Blaze.....BLAZE!... I like the sound of it!

thanks matt. i like the name squeekers for the corn . All my nameshave great meaning behind them

Really? Like what? Well, id go for blaze... its just has an irrestistable charm... BLAZE!....BlAZE!! Do you think you can post pics of him/her?

I'll try but im not sure how soon. She is a real beauty. Her only flaw (to me at least) is a small scar on her tail where sadly somebody hit her with a stick.Even that is pretty in its own way

Why would someone hit her with a stick?? That's okay, flaws add character, like a personality mark or somethin. And every scar has a story right? I like Blaze too, but it's kinda overdone. How about Pele (Hawaiian Goddess of Fire)

How do you pronounce Pele? It sounds nice. I also like Kegan and Kaelyn Can you post some pics of your new girl? She sounds beautiful.

i do like pele and im thinkin about pyralis. i going to try to post some pics of her

Keegan is my nephew's name.. he is Irish! It is a good strong name.... I like Pele or Pyralis though for a snake.. that way it could go either way if it is a boy or a girl...

some one hit her with a stick because they were afraid of her. I got her from a friend and she was like that. It makes her unique.

:evil: It doesn't mean you hit the thing with a stick! he/she/they could have easily walked away, whoever he was.
Anyway, I think Pele and Pyralis sound nice, just make sure whatever you pick to tell us!

yea im was upset that she got hit but i got a new snake so its all good.
today she let me pick her up without trying to bite

What I did with Draclyn's name is I picked two names I liked and made one. Or girlie up a male name you like ( once again Draclyn ). And if you are wanting to got with gods and goddesses with a ring of fire to thier name check out the Aztec pathon.....there are some really awesome names, and they sound cool too. My roomate for her fish usually goes for Japanesee names, they fit betas beautifully.

As for scars....all my babies have a scar, all mine except Hermes were rescues. Even the water dragon has one. And it does add to their personabiltiy and unqiueness ( makes it easier to identify them , espically if they get stolen). But for me evrey scar is reminder of how I ended up with them and all the joy they have given me. Congrats on the new additions and Good Luck.

thank you.shes coming along so well, i hope to be with her for a while regardless of scars

to answer ash's ?, pele is pronounced pay-lay

I just got my corn Saturday and i am in the same delema! cant think of anything ><

As many people like to name their snakes after gods & goddesses.... you can explore TONS of these names from various religions at www.godchecker.com

what about the name
Phoenix

What about Inferna, do a girlie spin on inferno.

Infernas nice

how about pyra, like a feminine pyro? Chantico/Chantica (Aztec goddess), Hydra (Greek demon), Pandora... I've got plenty of random ideas let me know if you need more.

I named my corn Motega, which is the name of an ancient Anasazi Indian chief. I figure the snakes are native americans too.

Nice name. Do you pronounce that Mo-TEG-uh or Mo-TAY-guh?

You could name ur corn Scarlett

You should name him "Alec". :wink:

lol hmm you could be biased towards that name.... just maybe.

So I've been thinking about this for a while and have decided Mr. Slithers definitely needs a first name. At first nothing really popped out at me, but after much research I found some cool deities that I've narrowed it down to:

Ikto/Iktomi - (Native American spider trickster god of war)
Kapoonis - (N.A. thunder god, trouble maker)
Nukatem - (N.A. spirits that inhabit natural objects)
Issitoq - (N.A. god of surveillance & stern warning)
Wendego/Wetiko - (N.A. demon)
Odzihozo - (N.A. legless god of bulldozing, Earth-moving, & creative geography)
Moko - (half man/lizard guardian spirit of Pacific Islands)

Any opinions or other suggestions?

I think Moko and Kapoonis are nice.

I think Wendego/Wetiko are cool. Odzihozo is nice too.

Here we go...

Ikto/Iktomi - (Native American spider trickster god of war) -- Naw. Spider? What short form? Ikky? lol

Kapoonis - (N.A. thunder god, trouble maker) ; Kewl, but thunder is loud..snakey is quiet. Plus short form, KaPoo? lol

Nukatem - (N.A. spirits that inhabit natural objects) ; Nice. Snakes love to 'inhabit' objects. Short form? Nuke is cool...Nuker...Nuki (as in nooky), Nuka, So it works.

Issitoq - (N.A. god of surveillance & stern warning) ; Reasonable meaning. Short form? Issy? Full name doesn't really Roll.

Wendego/Wetiko - (N.A. demon) ; Demon? Sssso Nasty. lol. Lot's of cool shorties. Just the Demo thing.

Odzihozo - (N.A. legless god of bulldozing, Earth-moving, & creative geography) ; Not even going here... hee hee.

Moko - (half man/lizard guardian spirit of Pacific Islands) ; Nice name, has some good shorties.. BUT Pacific Islands... not really our territory. Atlantic coastal snake more than anything.

So, for me

1. Nukatem
2. Wendego
3. Moko (cause of the roll, but the locationg things stops me to #1 or 2)

yeah it's hard to pick names...i like Irish names too. i named my hypo, "Aidan".
although i just named my anery "Guinness". i didnt know what to name him, i was drinking a bottle of Guinness and i said to him "so what am i going to call you?" and he tried to wrap himself around the bottle of guinness and he seemed to be reading the label on the bottle. not really! snakes cant read! but i thought it was kinda funny how he was working so hard to get to the bottle. so i named him Guinness.

I like all of those names, but I would pick Kapoonis.

how about Cinder?

how about Cinder? i have a snoflake corn and the yellow on her side very quickly gained her the name Sonni. Going to a reptile show in may and plan on purchasing another corn. I want to get a candycane and call it Minty, lol,,, not very original but ,, hey,,, i liek it

Well then, that's all that matters
