I'm bad at naming stuff too. I usually let other people name my pets lol. If I adopt a pet I usually keep the name people gave it. My turtle's name is Touche' though, which I don't really like so I just call him "turtle". Heh.
I went through the list of my snakes and made feeding charts to keep on my computer for them all last week and named them.
As far as my T's go: my l. parahybana is named "Betty" and my A. Versicolor is "Muffin". My Chaco is "Doodles".
:lol:

I named my giant hognose Larry, which seems to fit for some reason. Hehe.

I love your T names Laurie! Very creative!
I have a Shelob too but she is a haplopelma sp. Vietnam-she is a big meany!
Good job on the names! :thumright:

My Spiders names are Antoinette, Phiz, Black Betty, Sandy, and Bob. Antoinette is a sweetheart and she has gotten bigger. Phiz is a Rosehair but always flicks hairs. Black Betty is a baby G. pulchra, Sandy is a BIG Mexican Red rump and me and my dad are to scared to hold her because he hasn't held a spider like that in awhile. Bob is a baby versicolor and he got out on my lap once and he is fast but my dad caught him. And my dad is Bonedog.

I give all my T's the same name- so much easier to remember!

Since this is a family friendly forum I won't list it here! :shock:

Just kidding- I don't name my T's. Well that's not true- I did name one of my Haplo's Lizzy. But that's it.

I only name mine out of necessity to keep my records straight. For instance, I have 8 L. klugii so I name the females, males appropriately and the unsexed ones get names which could be boys or girls names like Terry. Actually, the klugiis are the only ones who have names!

I don't have names for mine anymore but I have enough to the point I need to come up with some alphanumeric system to keep different clutches straight.. suggestions?

For those that don't have names, I use an alphabet letter and a number...A. versicolor L1, L2, L3. B. smith L1, L2, L3, W1, W2. etc.

Most of them have a file card for record purposes with the common and scientific names, date I got them, who they came from, sex (if known), their ID number, and molting history.

I used to name my Ts...back when I had 10. LOL. Once you reach 100 it starts becoming cumbersome. I used to label my tanks all nice and neatly, but now that my collection has stabilized, I can just just look at them and tell what species and sex they are and even when they last molted.
