Name my pet!

<< < (4/7) > >>

Oops!  I didn't mean to leave you all in suspense here.  :P

There were a lot of close contenders in the race to name my snake, including Diamond,  ;)  Nidhöggr, (the mischievous dragon that ate at the roots of the World Tree) Slytherin, and Doopadoop.  (Don't ask)  :P  Monty was never really a contender because it's too obvious, but from the volume of people suggesting that name, it would have been popular.  :)

In the end, I decided to name him...

Pretzel.

It's simple, describes the shape he usually takes, and is conveniently gender non-specific in case "he" turns out to be a "she."  ;)  Also, it has a "Z" in it, which gives him a sense of uniqueness.  :)

Thanks again for all your suggestions!  :D

ZicherCZ approves ;).

Nice name. I also thought of "the name of that snake in norse mythology, or was that only in comics?", but after finding out the name is Nidhöggr, I didn't even suggest it =P

Naw, Nidhöggr is a dragon.  Jörmungandr is the snake.  I just liked the name Nidhöggr better.  :)  I offered the name Nidhöggr as a name suggestion to my friend who just acquired a bearded dragon, (lizard) so maybe it's a better fit there.  :)

Tormuse:
Some unfortunate news...  Pretzel passed away on Hallowe'en.  :(  I don't know what happened;  I had been taking good care of him and there didn't seem to be anything wrong, but then I came home from school one day and he was dead.  :(

This made me very sad, but also made me feel like getting a new pet to help fill the void.  So...

Here he is!  :)  (she?)

He's a baby corn snake and I kind of have a name in mind already, but I thought I'd appeal to you guys in case someone can come up with a better one.
