Learn how to sex your corn snake.
If you don’t want to do this, no worries!
But it is an easy and helpful place to start.
Sticking to gender cuts the names down quickly.
We offer male, female, and unisex name lists below.
It’s almost impossible to tell at a glance what gender your corn snake is, though, so if you want to cross-gender a name, go for it.
#2 Choose From Things You Like
The next most common list people like to pick from involves looking at things they’re interested in.
If you have a favorite movie, TV show, book, or celebrity, you may want to consider names in those mediums.
Historical figures are another popular one, especially if the name is adaptable to fit snakes in general.
This is your time to “nerd” out or chooses a name you wouldn’t otherwise use.
Maybe you think the name Nagini from the Harry Potter series is cool.
It’d make an excellent name for a corn snake.
Most owners who pick a name they really like feel more connected with their pets.
Don’t miss out on this chance to start with a good bond.
#3 Look For Personality Quirks
Any reptile owner will tell you their pets have their own personalities.
Some owners pick names based on their quirks.
For example, if a corn snake likes to wrap itself in twists, an owner may call it Pretzel.
This method’s downside is how you have to wait to get a good feel for their personality.
It’s OK, though.
Corn snakes don’t respond to their names, so feel free to wait until you know them.
This is also a good excuse to test out a few names before you settle on one.
#4 Look And Appearance
Base your choices on their color and overall appearance for an easy and effective way to choose names.
Take a look at the patterns on their bodies and the colors they have.
Then, have a look at our Appearance name list below.
This is simple, but some may speak to you.
A corn snake with some orange in its coloration may need a name like Sunset.
Corn snakes have their most vibrant colors at an early age.
As with most snakes, the colors’ vividness fades with time, but the coloration is always there to some degree.
