Hello Dhara, goodbye Tigerlilly

So, snake number 13 in the Cold Blooded Crew is settling in, ate a meal of two large rats last week, has struck at my through the glass but also given me a good hour of quiet cuddles! We're still getting used to each other and the busy bee has also done a good and thorough job of wrecking the interior of his vivarium.
We definately have a character on our hands, and because of this he has thus proven the hardest snake I've ever had to name. After wracking my brains and nothing off my favourites list suiting, I consulted an old school friend, who's fiance is Sri Lankan (same origin as the Burmese python) for some authentic suggestions. They got back to me with Dhara, which means strong and mighty, which just seems perfect, so Dhara it is! Well done Helen and Chaminda for their idea!
On rather a sad note, one of our longest standing crew members Tigerlilly has decided to hang up her grass skirt and call it a day. We understand that a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, and are so very appreciative of all her hard work, dedication, input and support to the company and our animals- we'll miss working with you!!
