My A. Geniculata is "Stripey"
G. Rosea the "Fuzzball"
A. Versicolor "Bluey"
B. Boehmei the "Brachy" or Mexican
GBB the "baby"
T. Gigas "Orange Climby Thing" (joke between my OH and me, cos he'd wanted an OBT)

I have named all my T's

L Parahybana - Nuno
G Rosea - Lola
A Versicolor - Lars
N Coloratovillosus - Trujillo
M Balfouri - Ktulu
A Metallica - Apocolypse
B Smithi - Jesùs

Whenever I have gotten a new T it has taken days to select the name!

 

[Rick Stallard]

Hi, Hey if you want to name your T, why not, what does it hurt. I only name special ones. Like I have a MM G porteri that is 18 months passed ultimate molt and still going. I bred him twice 2 months ago and he is now in Mass. doing his thing. Will come back home in a week or so to meet his new GF. Going to really miss him when the time comes. I call him Moses. Guys name their cars and , well uh, other things too, so sure name away. (see I told you)

P. metallica - Trip (a character from Metallica Through the Never)
L. parahybana - Mole (because it digs everywhere) and Pip (simply because it was a pip squeak when it came)

I've named my first three, but I'm still looking for names for my two newest slings...
My female pinktoe's name is "Mittens", my young mexican red knee is "Nid", and my GBB is "Azul". Not sure what to name my curly hair or rose hair slings. However, my mom insists on calling the rose hair "Miss Muffet".
