my spotted is Striker, i have diamonds: Fang!, Roxy, Billabong, then there is Mr Whiskers and Slippers!
Striker and Fang....obvious what they did best when they were young!
Mr Whiskers has no whiskers and Slippers has no feet!!! but Slippers should be called Airbags!!!

[Renenet]

I called my female stimmie Zephyr. No reason except that I like the way the word sounds.

I have thought of a few more cool names for snakes recently. Damn it, I suppose that means I'll just have to get the snakes to match them.

 

[ianinoz]

Young (wild) eastern water skink who moved in and decided he (?) liked us and our house, been a permanent resident (house lizard) since about November.

He Is free to come and go and do as he pleases, no restrictions on him at all.

He (?) adopted us and we've been encouraging him (?) by giving him food treats and not chasing him or doing anything to capture him. Became quite tame / comfortable about us and was always very inquisitive.

Currently he's making himself scarce, gone off to sleep away the winter somewhere under or inside the lounge. Hear him wriggling about early in the morning every few days (I think it's Lizzy I can here when the house and street is quiet).
We call him Lizzy. Just seems natural, no other reason for the name.

No idea if Lizzy is a he or a she.

When I was child we had big green tree frog who moved in and would keep everyone awake all night until he was removed from the cysterm or the handbasin in the bathroom by croaking all night. He was a very nice frog and very tolerant of being handled, frogs are great... we called him Freddy. (not very original).

Had other lizards as short term pets (caught them) when I was a kid (a bluey and later a beardy who dad brought home under the wheel arch). Never gave them names they escaped before naming (or were released by dad).

my two female beardies have had a few names due to a 3yo daughter picking and changing but chose gracie and piper, so the names stuck

How are your beardies with your daughter, do they tolerate her handling and interacting physically and verbally with them OK ?

My memories of my childhood are that the beardy I captured and made a pet was all bluff and once he settled/ calmed down and realised he was not going to be hurt was pretty good, very food treat orientated.
He never liked by baby sister was always grumpy if she was around.

 

[Bradchip]

I named my Bredli...Riley, because it's the name of one of my favourite singer/guitarist/songwriters dog...and I like the name.

I named my coastal 'Honey', because she has an amazing temperament. Definitely a honey

 

[KaotikJezta]

My Darwin is Smij which is lithuanian for dragon, my Beardie is Gedorah coz he acts like a big scary monster, My EWD is Rogue and when I get a boy it will be Villain, spotteds named by my ex cloak , girl Dagger boy, CND's Asterix, small one, Obelix big one, Womas Squiggle, girl as she squiggles into a tiny hide, Giggle boy as he makes me giggle. Rest unnamed at this stage partially because *** unknown or too new. When I get frillies they will be Vlad and Drusilla as they remind me of vampires with there funny frills.
