After telling people the name of my corn snake Jeff
It raised concern, stuff like: "WHAT A WEIRD NAME!" "DONT BE A FOOL"

I just want to say one thing, it's a lot more original than something like SLITHER or SCALEY or VIPER am I right?

Reptiles have the right to have dignified names not something that pops out of a 3 year olds head, because it relates to the reptile.

Thought I'd post it.

least we don't have to go round the park shouting their names in front of the unsuspecting public!

I've got Birch, Spruce, Peachy, CherryPetal and Maple for the corns (a tree-hugging-hippy phase i think!) and Queenie and Marilyn for the boids.

What about 'Dave' for an Iguana. I have known a few people with these lizards, and for some reason, Dave is a common name for them, why???
