Okay, lets see...
My mali uro is named Sam, because of a couple of reasons. For one, when I first got her, she was in such bad condition I couldn't tell if she was a boy or a girl (I call her a girl, but she's looking more and more like a boy everyday...besides sexually, I don't think it really matters much for lizards anyways). I also wanted to name her something that started with an S because we sort of have this streak going...you'll see what I mean in a minute. Oh, and I got her because my dad saw her at one of his friend's houses, and my dad doesn't know much about reptiles, but he knew enough that keeping an adult uro in a 10 gallon tank with nothing but old food, feces, and a heat rock, is not good. I went and got her and sort of went through a crash course of uro owning myself (I knew the basics, but I didn't know the little stuff that makes a big difference, like the fact that they need good hiding spaces). We're not certain how old she is, but the guy that had her before says he believes her to be between 6-8 years old...maybe older...I got her the day before christmas eve last year, so it was a great christmas since she pulled through so well.
My bearded dragon is named Sydney, basically because I thought it was a cool name for an australian lizard, and I didn't realize how many other people use it. He's about 2.5 years old or so... I got him almost two years ago as my first lizard. I didn't choose a good place to get him from, and he's had (still is having) problems with parasites...the vet thinks he's just much more susceptible to certain parasites (pinworms mostly)...it didn't help that I let him brumate last year without realizing that he still had parasites...that just made it worse. I think that's basically his story.
I also have a lab/english setter mix, and her name is Shelby. I got the name from my grandma's old neibors who had a golden retriever that was awesome. She's about 10 years old now, and I've had her since she was a little puppy.
Last but not least, my blue point siamese cat, Sara. My dad gave her that name. Before her we had a lilac point siamese that was older than me, and we were devastated when she died (she was like my best friend), and she was named Lyla, so we were originally going to name the new kitten Lilly, but it just didn't seem right. I human name fits her well. She doesn't have a clue she's a cat. She's about 4 years old.
That's about it...I know, it's a lot. I love all of my pets and I love talking about them. I'm not sure, but I think I might name all of my future pets names that start with S, just because I think it's funny how that's worked out so far.
It's nice that everyone here's starting to really get to know each other. It gives the forum a better atmosphere, more like what I'm used to from over at the bearded dragon forum.
