I love the pattern and coloration on your fire!

Wow, I absolutly LOVE that pastel "little warrior". Stunning :bow:

The bee and fire are my favorites :bow::bow:

I really like that spider. :)

Love the bumblebee and Albinos. Beautiful collection

Give me those albinos!!!!
freakin awesome!!

Those are some great pictures in the grass! I'm loving that fire!

That picture of your little warrior pastel is AMAZING!!!

Gorgeous collection. Btw...

Cathan -Cathán is Gaelic boy's name which contains the element cath referring to battle. The name meaning is something like "little battler".
It is also the name of a 6th century Irish monk who became a Saint and had some churches dedicated to him in Scotland.

I know it's a boy name, but you could call her Cath. :D

You speak Gaelic??

Yes, Mephi, I speak Gaelic.

(Or maybe I just know how to use google...:P;))

Me and a friend have been trying to learn cuneiform...stranger things than Gaelic have been learned lol.

(I could see this railroading the entire thread now lol)

Oo very nice...I like that!

I'm trying to keep with a somewhat African theme (I haven't done great with it haha - I have Sadie, Chaplin, and Manzanita that are way off topic :P). I spent a good chunk of time living in South Africa, so it's a special place for me. I tried to keep with a West African theme since that's their native range, but I wasn't wild about what I found, so I'm happy with any language from the continent, or anything in reference to the ecosystems, wildlife, etc., like "Savanna." I've got Durban and Mutale on my list of names to give, but haven't for sure picked which of these guys to give them to.

Anywho, I don't mind my thread being "railroaded," discuss at will :)

And thank you all for your compliments! Wow :)

Awesome photos of gorgeous snakes! The lesser and especially the fire are just incredible.

Why not go straight translation, Vegter. It's Afrikaans for Warrior.

I grew up in Sandton, just north of Joburg.

they are cute:)

Wow!! Those are some gorgeous,gorgeous animals!! And i love the fire you got from Gale! Very kewl lookin. And im thinkin some of those pics are BPOM worthy ;)

sent from my incubator

Wow, thank you so much for the compliments! It's so neat to see that others love these guys as much as I do!! I definitely think I will try my hand at the BPOM this month :)

Wow, what stunning snakes you have! These are EXCELLENT photos. I can't wait to take some more of my little guy. Thanks for sharing!

Maybe name her after a (semi) famous female warrior instead of a word for warrior?

All gorgeous little serpents!
