Name for my new tricolor hognose?

[jaycied]

I just won an auction for an unrelated pair of tri colored hognose snakes. I'm absolutely floored by these animals! They're gorgeous! If you don't know what they look like check out @basin79 thread here or youtube channel. I'd post the ones I won, but I haven't received them yet and don't have any pictures I have the rights to.

I need help picking names for the male. I have Roulette picked for the female, and I like card/casino game names. Here are some that have struck my fancy:

Poker Chip (chip for short)
Casino
Blackjack
Blackball

and then one that's totally different (from a book I'm reading) Mogget.

Let me know what to name my boy!

Sabriel is a quality book, so I like Mogget.

What if you did Chip as short for Christopher or Charles? Or is it just me who thinks that's adorable...

There's always the alliterative options: Harry, Henry, or Harold hognose, Sam, Sebastian, or Saul snake (or if you want to be really fancy, Travis, Timothy, or Todd tricolor). I also rather like Blackball, and you could go with Blackjack and call him Jack for short (I have a friend named Jack, so I'm partial to that). Jack is actually particularly nice because it's also a card. You might go for Tex, as in Texas Hold 'Em, which accomplishes both the alliterative goal and the gambling goal.

Backgammon is one of my favorite games, it's well-known as a gambling game, and it has the right colours, but I sadly can't think of any good names derived from it. I bring it up because maybe you or someone else can.

Ace? As in Ace of Spades?

Lemmy? Motorhead lead singer who sang Ace of Spades.

Jack? Short for Jackpot.

Roul? Short for roulette.

I think I'm going to have to go with Blackjack. Jack for short just has so many other meanings that work perfectly! Thanks guys! I'll have to post pictures once I get them
