No secret. I didn't feed hom for a few days so his belly could reach around. Before he was too fat to do that. That's it. He flew right to her.

i dont name mine either i guess its a good system. keep it up man! :punk:

 
I name them all based on their species names :p or what they remind me of. Like all of my purple boxers are based on video game boxers: Balrog, Dudley, Steve, Lil Mac, and Bison. I named my Creo Jade because of her colouring, I named my Ghost mantis Phantom because Im unoriginal, My griffins are Eagle, Clint, Gryphon, Griff, Splash, and Titan. I havent named my tau's yet. too young still. My double shields are Les Stroud, Bear Gryls, and Margaret Brown because they all survived a ridiculous trip in postage. My Membranacea are based in biology because the scientific name reminded me of the cell membrane. So I have Lipid, Semi-Perm, Digger, Cella, Phosphor, Agent A (I was having a hard time coming up with new names so I started stealing usernames from here), Ace, Patrick, Tenacious, Melancholy, Hylia, Bran, Ronnie, and Dr. Claw (mismolted and had a gimped raptorial. Is fine now though). The Mesopteryx are Soup, Cash, Ester, Archy, Tattle, Terry, Gimpy, Benedict, Iskie, Francis, Rusty, Hydra, Mesa, and Alan. The archimantids are Precarious, Fraser, Cesar, Albert, Tristan, Crystal, Adrienne, Delain, Tyler, Al, Otis, and Hibiscus. And finally my majusculas are Majere, Majesty, and Hiro.

I do label their cups with their names because I can't tell them apart lol. And some days I'm amazed I even remember my own name so it does help. But If you asked me to name them off the top of my head I would be able to list more than half of them.
