I don't know if other people name their snakes, but my first garter was named "Boots".

In the last time I don't give names to my Garter Snakes, but formerly every snake was getting a name ... like Klaus, Loopy, Joo, Cherry, Proximan, Strippe, Pithy, Shooter, Ruby, Zbornak, Gudrun and so on ;-)

With all the new babies, it would be hard to name them, and keep the names straight. Much easier when you only have one or two snakes in a tank then a constantly moving mass of babies.

I just got my second garter, and named it Zipper because it's dorsal stripe is very muted, and only runs about 1/8th the length of it's body, and looks a little like a zipper.

My kids also named my other garter Checkers and I didn't get a say in that. Bet you can guess the sub-species.

I guess people do name their snakes. My three happen to be named Iceman, Maverick, and of course Goose. I happen to like the movie Top Gun.

I take it they are all male snakes. Otherwise you should have names one "Charlie".

My mother named one of my garters "Thud" since she would always crawlingup the side of the cage and falling sideways thumping on the bottom of the cage...hence the name. She caught a comanion for her....named that one "T.C"......short for Thud's companion...lol!!!! I had a red necked keelback from Korea....she loved to hide all the time...she got the name "Heidi"

That's really funny. Those are my kids names too, and strangely enough, I named them that for those same reasons.

Yeh I never name my snakes. I have alot of garters and a few other species of snakes. But no names for any of them.
