All my animals get names they are part of the family!
They are living things not an item you stick on a shelf so why not name them?


I name everyone that stays!

Why keep them? From the way the above is worded it comes across you care little for the animals themselves and see them as possessions and commodities rather than living animals.

We name things too give them an identity, a personality. They're not automatons are each animal does behave differently. My leo scylla is probably very different to other peoples, which in turn are named differently.

Its all about respect, by not naming them it seems you think little of then. Even some breeders which deal with 100's/1000's of animals name some of their stock even some lab animals get names!
