Default Do you name your reptiles?

Just wondering how many people here give their reptiles names - I used to originally with my corn snakes but now I've got over 60 reptiles (all snakes & lizards) as my breeding collection, there's no way I could name them all and remember it.

We name everything we're keeping eventually. It can take a while to select a name though

We've still not named the rainbow boa and he's been here a couple of weeks now.
