We need a name for our new Schneider's Skink. They're from North Africa and the Middle East, and we have no idea what sex it is. Anyone got anything good?

how can you not think of a name for something that we call a skink? That's like comic gold lol. I'd prolly call it skinkus or something.

You may (or may not) find this useful: Your skink was named after German naturalist Johann Gottlob Theaenus Schneider.

Someone suggested Dijon to me because of the long yellow stripe down his sides. I tend to like people names more, but what do you think of that?

I like people names for most lizards too---what about Lynk the skink? LOL
J/K
Why not pick a name you would use on a child if you were pregnant---something you really like the sound of?

Well, since I have two boys, I have a snake named Olivia and another one named Charlotte! 
I don't know if this one's a boy or girl. How about Pat the Skink? (only kidding!)
