I actually got Zosime’s name from you! When I asked what I should name him, you offered lots of awesome names, and I thought the name meaning "survivor" defiently fits. So, I thank you for his name. I decided to name Stykalfein because the end of Uromastyx ends with ’styx’, and she’s a girl, so I wanted it girlier; which changed it to Stykalfein. [:

Where’d you get the name of yours’ from?

Littlefoot got his name from Land Before Time because he looks like littlefoot did in the first few scenes... and that whole thing with the leaf.

Also, in the movie the triceratops he hangs out with has (although in pronunciation only) the same name as I do.

There’s so much pressure to name someone else’s pet. >_< I’ve always wanted to name a snake "Wish" because it would be my wish to rescue and own a snake; except for the fact they eat little mice and rats. ): And "Didier" means ’longing’; again, that has to do with me always wanting a snake. :P Plus, it’s just fun to say Didier. =P

Anywho... You don’t have to use either of these names and sorry I didn’t give you many options. I’m not very good at this. (=

(Your Uro is adorable!)

Since they’re the most extreme heat-loving lizards, I’d probably stick with the fire/mythology theme - it’s not like there’s limited choice there or anything.

You can go for the obvious and well-known: Dante;
The slightly obscure: Mephistopheles;
The outright silly: Satan;
Or the classical: Vesta, the Roman goddess of fire; and
Hestia, the Greek goddess of fire (which would have been my second choice);
Vulcan, the Roman god of fire, from whom we get the words volcano and vulcanism;
Hephaestus was the Greek god of fire, forge and artisians;
Agni, the Hindu god of fire;
Loki the Norse god of (among other things) fire; and finally
Pele, the Hawiian goddess of fire, lightning, dance, volcanoes and violence.

On the other side of the fence there’s also mighty Prometheus, who stole fire from the Gods.

I named my Uro "Prada" because after I bought her and the tank and lights she became very expensive with vet visits, fecals, and the new enclosure and lights to set her up properly. People should do research on uros before they buy so they can avoid what I went through and paying so much more money to get her situated comfortably.

She’s worth every penny though.

My girls name is Ka’ena. Its hawaiian meaning ’red hot spot’ alot of times used to describe lava and such. She is a saharan uro red phase, so shes got alot of red and orange.
My beardies are Prowler (because he was always on the prowl for crickets instead of just gobbling them up) and Pancake(because she flattens all the way out like a pancake on her basking rocks)
And my skink is Dozer, because he moves his sand from one side to the other like a bulldozer.
I’ve never been good at names, but I think I did pretty good with these ones..all my other pets names are horribe lol

Scitalis after the Scytale from a medieval bestiary which describes it as a lizard whose colors are so brilliant that they help to stun their prey.
