Is that a Lavender or a Mocha? I don’t think I’ve seen a corn with as little red as she has in her coloring.
Muñequita means “little doll” in Spanish. (Of course, that will appear a tad ironic when she gets to five feet.)
First i thot this was about a one eyed snake (no pun intended)…tho i was wondering why u were referring to it as a baby (not a very common male statement about one eyed snakes) also calling it a she was a bit confusing to relate to the one eyed snake concept…okay yeah i’m not stoned.
Yasmine seems like a very sweet name…shez very pretty btw…gonna break alotta snake hearts and have many’a’snake come crawling to her. Yeah shez pretty ssssssexy (cudn’t resist saying that)
Howabout Andrianampoinimerina ? He was King of Merina in the central highlands of Madagascar 1787-1810 and set the stage for the eventual dominance of Madagascar by his dynasty until the French conquest.
A nice, easy to remember name for a pet :D.
um, Medusa
::d&r::
tomndeb, hatchling corns are many times darker than their adult counterparts. There were some albino corns, too, but they looked almost like candy canes because what will eventually be the lovely orange that Henry has is now a deep, dark near-red.
The owner does breed what she calls chocolates (wondering if that’s the same as a mocha), but she charges double for them. (Can’t quite see why–normals are much prettier!)
widdershins, no need to duck and run. I rather like “Medusa.”
Also, tomndeb, according to http://members.aol.com/tiliqua929/bruce/mocha.html ,
She definitely does not have red, ruby or otherwise, eyes. Just nice and beady black.
If I ever got another snake I was going to name it “Hissy”. It ends in Y so it might do for you. I like Medusa though, it would be perfect for touching on Greek mythology with your students. If you like a play on words, then “Y Kiki”.
Other Y names: Yursula/Yrsula, Yankee, Yanadu, Yippy Skippy, Yules, and Ying-ying.
Other snake related names: Madame Hiss (after Sir Hiss of Disney’s Robin Hood), Kaa (Disney’s The Jungle Book), Nag (Rikki-Tikki-Tavi), Anantha (Hindu), Nehebkau, Mehen, Hathor, Tefnut, Uajyt, Meretseger (all Egyptian), Degei (Fijian), Quetzalcoatl (Central America), Benten (Japanese love godess), and Caduceus (symbol of medicine).
Welp, if it doesn’t have to start with the letter “Y”, then I like Ssssamantha, or Sammy for short.
I loved Sammy the Snake on Sesame Street.
Some 30 years ago, we caught a DeKay snake on our patio and named it Samantha, or Sam for short. Shortly thereafter, friends of ours caught a similar snake and named it Endora.
Bewitched was popular at the time.
I don’t think corn snakes are constrictors.
Actually, Opal, corn snakes are constrictors. They kill their prey via constriction in a manner pretty much identical to pythons: strike (and hold), wrap around, squeeze in response to prey’s exhaling (preventing them from inhaling–they don’t “crush” their prey as movies suggest), and then swallow head-first once the prey is either dead or unconscious.
However, unlike pythons (which constrict from birth/hatching), little baby corn snake here will eat her prey immediately. She just grabs on to the head and starts swallowing–squirming, live prey notwithstanding. That should do for the Ick! factor of the day.
“Constrictor” is often associated with the Columbian red tail boa constrictor species (big, BIG snakes very commonly found as hatchlings at pet stores); it is actually just a descriptor. Whereas all pythons are constictors, not all constrictors are pythons.
And heck, apparently not all “constrictors” are constrictors! I found this here regarding the blue racer–coluber constrictor:
Baby snakes!! I love baby snakes!! They’re so small and cute … which is why I’m not allowed to go to the reptile shows anymore, even to look She is quite adorable!
We had a corn for a number of years – he was beautiful orange and red with very little black. When he was a baby, he had a thing for hiding in long hair and sticking his head out like a periscope.
I like Medusa for a school snake name, although Cleopatra has always been a favorite snake name of mine.
I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned “Yvonne” yet. (what I initially thought when reading the OP) Or maybe they have, but I missed it. Anyways, as for “Y” names?

Forgot to mention another movie tie-in for your bouncing baby. Since you’ve got a male named Henry, how about June? That would be her birthday month as well.
Well, just so long as you don’t name her Anne, Katherine, or Jane.
