Three things:
First: At first glance, I thought it was some sexual euphemism, lol
Second: Since it's a python, I would call her List Comprehension, but if you don't program, it'll not gonna make sense =D
Third: Styx sounds cooler.

So far, I'm the only one who voted for Terra!

If you're really caught between the two try this:

Take a coin, and assign one name to heads, and one to tails. Flip the coin. If you're happy with the result, then you've got the name. However if you're response is anything like the following - eh, maybe best two out of three, I guess that'll be alright, etc. - then chances are you probably want the other one and just didn't know it for sure.

ok between this and my Facebook poll styx is ahead by 4 for more information the reason i am stuck is she is white, yellow, orange, and pink so terra seems to fit. However i do like one syllable names and the story behind Styx is she is the greek goddess of night. Her son is Hypnos god of sleep who on multiple occasion put Zeus to sleep so someone could get away with mischief of some sort. Fearing Zeus Hypnos always ran back to his mother after messing with him and fearing Styx's maternal fury Zeus never attempted to exact revenge on Hypnos.

This is all I could think about when I first looked at the poll. I'm glad someone else was thinking along the same lines!

Oh, and this song is awesome.

I like Terra. If you have friends that are scared of snakes it'll be more like 'terror'.
