I personally hate that term that is banded about these days but it seems so fitting for this one for anyone who hasn't seen it before.
That’s not at all true. I name my animals out of a fondness for them. That’s about as humanised as they get.i hate how much we humanize other species, especially reptiles, usually it leads to wrong care and lots of handling/interacting daily at times.

I'm with you on that one Paul. Danger noodle, snek and the other terms people use for snake show to me an element of immaturity from the people using them.
I am one of the few who won't name my reptiles, especially snakes, they don't have ears to hear the name and won't come when called so why name them in the first place.
It is just another way we try to humanise our reptile pets. If people want to do it that's fine by me but I can't help but have a little laugh when I hear of named reptiles.

You're lucky mine is outer and people hate it.I never liked the term "snek". It makes my inner Grammar Nazi cringe.
Baby krefftii...Still has the egg tooth.Ah, stop it...now i'm just mush, love the last pic, great capture.
all my reptiles have names,sure some of them don't have ears and wont come when called;But it's my way of knowing which creature is which and my son knows who I am talking about.With multiple creatures from multiple genus how else would you differentiate?That’s not at all true.
