Want To Help Name My Lizards?

I am an animal lover.  My girlfriend and I have two cats, two hermit crabs, and now two geckos. 

So here are our two new lizards.  They are African fat tailed geckos.  The are pretty tame.  They are nocturnal so they dont come out of their hiding places much, especially when the lights are on.  When I do take them out of their cage they are very chill.  They don't bite, they don't freak out and they don't move very fast.  They seem curious, always checking out their surrondings whether it by my lap, or a new rock in their cage.  So far they have not pooped on me.  I have read that they can move fast when they are startled, but I guess that hasn't happened yet, because they are always very slow.

As you can see the cats pay almost no attention to them.  The cat in the picture is named Cream Cheese, he is from the streets of Rockford IL and he has a brother named Hogan that was born in the streets of Santiago Chile.  Both cats are much more interested in the crickets that are fed to the geckos than the geckos themselves.

Honestly, I'm not really into the "weatherman" pet names...like stormy the cat or thunder the dog.  So you can suggest one if you want, but I probably wont end up using it.  I am just looking for ideas.   

Oh yeah, they are both girls. 

In the picture at the top you can't really see why they are called "fat tailed" geckos.  Their tails are so fat that it often takes a second or third look to tell which end is their head and which is their tail.  Their tails are kind of ugly...but ugly in a cool way I think.

Ooohhh! I like Pitter & Patter. Shoot, thats a lot better than Kitty and Bunny. I think it would be unfair to change their names now. But thanks Janet

Posted by: Janet Location: Reno
'Taquito' & 'Chalupa'--'Meeko' & Tamone'--Simba & Sala--Amos & Andy--Flip & Flap

Posted by: Janet Location: Reno
How about 'Pitter' & 'Patter'?

When are you going to blog again????

Posted by: Dennis Location: Reno
OK, I took Berniece's advice and tried to fit there personalities. I went with Kitty and Bunny. For some reason when I tell people that they usually laugh and tell me I'm wierd. The dark one is always a little jumpy when I pick here up so she kind of reminded me of a rabbit I used to have. And the lighter lizard is more chill, so I went with Kitty. Thank you for all your suggestions.

My first ideas were BZ and EZ. Second idea Sugar and Spice and my daughter's ideas are Harley and Chevy. Try to fit their personalities - maybe mellow and cool?

i would call them dumb and dumber for hanging out with the cat

I agree with Marie from Fallon. I think Thelma and Louise are perfect names. Your cat is beautiful and obviously very well mannered.

Growing up I had several lizards. My first one was named Leo. He died. After that I thought it would be a good idea to name all of my lizards with names that started w/ the letter "L." So... I had leon, larry, and possible a leroy. Larry died several days after I got him, and when I went to the pet store all of the other lizards had died... there must have been some sort of disease that they were all infected with. I was very sad. Another one of my lizards (I'm not sure which one it was) ended up killing one of the others. He was a very agressive lizard. I was sad for a little bit, but the victorious one was much cooler anyways. I guess this doesn't really answer your question. Anywho... you should name the lizards stephanie and matt. matt should be whichever one you think is more butch.

Thelma & Louise
