Not Iggy...

Yesterday in a spur of the moment decision, I bought a really awesome Bearded Desert Dragon. They're like Iguanas, only a lot more active. Right now he lives in my room in a 29 by 10 feet glass case, complete with carpetting, fake bonzai (he loves to climb), watering pools and rock formations. He loves hunting live crickets which I keep for him in a special habitat of their own and treat him to on Sundays. Other days of the week, he eats lettuce, grans and dead crickets. Right now he's only a month old and six inches long. He's supposed to grow to almost 2 feet if well taken care of.

His Highness' habitat needs to be vacuumed thrice a month and his water changed everyday and fed a healthy diet.

However, he is still unchristened. If you guys have good ideas for a name (which is not Iggy) I'd like to know.

Cheers!

  1. Don't make it a proper noun... name Him after something abstract...

    maybe just "Him"

    "Have you fed The Darkness tonight?"

    BANJO: having a narrow neck and round body. Good turtle name?

    FAFNIR, FAFNER: Norse myth name (a dragon)

    XIUHCOATL: Nahuatl. "Fire serpent" or "weapon of destruction."

    ZELENKA: Female Czech name meaning "little green one."

    --------------------

    One day in the jungle, Iggy climbs up a tree and finds Maity sitting on a branch, smoking some weed. Iggy asks him for some but Maity keeps saying

    "No, you're a lightweight, it'll go straight to your head."

    But eventually after some pestering, Maity gives Iggy some of the weed. after smoking for a bit, Iggy starts to get a bit thirsty, being a lightweight and all, so he goes down to the lake to get a drink.

    While he's down at the lake, he sees "The Fafner" who asks him where he's been, as he seems a bit high. Iggy tells "The Fafner" he's been up in the tree smoking with Maity, so "The Fafner" goes up to ask Maity if he can have any.

    So as Maity's sitting there, high as a kite, waiting for Iggy to get back, he sees "The Fafner" climb up onto the branch.

    "Bloody hell!" yells Maity, "How much freakin' water did you drink?"
