So how did you all come up with names for your tegus/other reptiles? My brother came up with Kodo by removing the middle syllable from "Komodo." Other names I considered were Nidhogg (after a dragon from Norse mythology) and Gene Simmons (his black and white patterning coupled wit his long tongue reminded me of a certain KISS bassist).

clever names! =D
I came up with Spartacus because at the time I was just getting into the tv series: SPARTACUS (AMAZING SHOW)
Spartacus is the name of the main character (and also my favorite) but I was also deciding between that and Crixus (another amazing character).

Ha! I thought you got the name Kodo from World of Warcraft. :)

I keep changing the name of my b&w since I found out she was a girl, I'm probably going to stick with Chell. She is the main protagonist in the Portal games.

My red is named Clifford after the big red dog. I thought it fit. :D

I like people names, usually old names. My male was going to be Jasper, I have a monitor named Murphy, though Dorian, Guy, Wayne and Cassidy were on my list too :D

Lol Kodo, I definitely though of Warcraft first too!

I LOVE that show! Have you seen Gods of the Arena? They have both for streaming on Netflix. Can't wait for season 3. Oh, and badass name choice. A macho name for a macho lizard.
I played Dungeons and Dragons in college but never got into WoW; I stopped after the Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne expansion. I am quite familiar with those kodos but my Kodo is not named for them I;m afraid. Sorry to disappoint all my nerdy tegu friends out there. :(

I like people names as well. My fire bellied toads are Joe and Tony (Tony is sadly deceased) and I had a Cali kingsnake named Diane. The box turtle at my work is named Bernie.

I was going with the name Nyreese, it's welsh for lady originally being spelt NERYS. But we like changing the spelling so she can go by Nyry or Reesey. But now that I'm switching to an All American I may play around with a few more names before I stick with that one 100%.

It is very sad, but at least he gave his blessing for the show to go on. If you like Spartacus, then there's this TV show you need to check out. It's called Deadliest Warrior and the pit famous fighters from history against each other. It's on Netflix and totally awesome.
