How'd You Get Your Username?

Raymond Lee Ditmars was an American herpetologist from 1899 until his death in 1942. He was considered the foremost herpetologist in the country during his lifetime. He authored a number of reptile books, including "Reptiles of North America" which I fell in love with when I was in high school. Hence my Username, rlditmars. My avatar is actually a picture of him.

Best username of the forum

I just like Starscream ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

(if Starscream had been taken I'd have gone with my usual internet handle, 'starburd'.)

Nothing special..

When I signed up I had just gotten a beautiful Angolan Python named "Zina". It was in 2010.

Hence...Zina10 :)

I used to participate in a type of Brazilian martial art called capoeira. It's part of the culture for your mestre to name you, and from that point on you are known to everyone involved in capoeira as your nickname. Mine doesn't have a Portuguese translation like some, just a situational one. It's pronounced "chee-la."

My mom :rolleyes::rofl:

Obviously that's the name she put on my birth certificate ;)

I play guitar and my favorite guitarist is Randy Rhoads who passed away on Mar. 19, 1982. Nothing special.

CALM: Initials in order, Me, Wife & each daughter. Also the English Gypsy word for LOVE. Hence my business name "CALM Paving". Also my Lic plate & Tattoo. So CALM Pythons means "Love Pythons".

Mine is from the manga/anime Death Note. Basically Kira = killer.

I've always liked the name anyway but I signed up here shortly after binge watching the series so it stuck.

One of my nicknames is Big Ron and my badge number is 8080...thus BR8080
