Strange Names?

[nvenm8]

I am interested to hear from others, strange, different or new names for reptiles.

I heard one on the weekend - A Swamp Tiger, after a little more enquiring I deducted that it was a locals term for a Keel Back. I actually like the name, very fitting :lol:.

Anyway anyone else?
