oh, that "-ski" on the end led me to believe he was Polish. Maybe he's half Polish and half Icelandic.
 
Because I have a red eft and I'am 14 years old lol.
 
My first name is Niels (pronunciation: Neils) and my last name is (D)eijkers wich is pronounced as "dykers". Hence Niels D. English speaking friends call me Neal, because saying my name in Dutch sounds like Klingon...
 
You´ve obviously never heard an average english speaker try to pronounce my name...:D

Whenever there's a character playing in an American or English movie, which is supposed to be a Dutchman, he'll allways get a German accent. Believe me, English with a Dutch accent is much more horrible for the ears.

Michael (Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל‎ (pronounced [ˌmixäˈʔel]), Micha'el or Mîkhā'ēl; Greek: Μιχαήλ, Mikhaḗl; Latin: Michael or Míchaël; Arabic: ميخائيل‎, Mīkhā'īl) is an archangel in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic teachings. Roman Catholics, Anglicans, and Lutherans refer to him as Saint Michael the Archangel and also simply as Saint Michael. Orthodox Christians refer to him as the Taxiarch Archangel Michael or simply Archangel Michael.

In Hebrew, Michael means "who is like God" (mi-who, ke-as or like, El-deity), which is traditionally interpreted as a rhetorical question: "Who is like God?" (which expects an answer in the negative) to imply that no one is like God. In this way, Michael is reinterpreted as a symbol of humility before God.[5]
 
Mine's after Grete Jalk, my favorite danish furniture designer. I restore danish furniture as a hobby. Downside, everyone thinks it's my name (especially on other forums) and when we meet for transactions, I get called Grete. Months later, after explaining that isn't my name, I still get called Grete.
 
I chose mine because I was trying to develop a blue bioluminescent light based on Photobacterium phosphoreum. Oceanblue is a trademark, a bank account and as of last week a fashion and accessories store in Tenby!
 
Mine comes from an old movie, a character who's hacker handle was lord Nikon boasted a "photographic" memory. I've always been into photography in a big way even if my memory isn't as awesome so chose king canon.

It's the species name for my favorite caudate. The first Marbled Salamander I owned had a 'bone' pattern on its' back, which I thought was just TOO cool. The black and silver appeals to that 'goth' part of my psyche...LOL :cool:
 
methodik or better Methodik is the german term for methodology, I choose this name for herpetological boards online because it fits my search for methods to successfully keep animals. How boring it sounds compared to the sound of the word.
 
'Linus' was the name I gave my first pet amphibian (tiger salamander) who I blame for getting me into this hobby :]
 
"Scorpion" is just a name I used for a lot of sites. It started when I got an emperor scorpion as a pet. lol
 
Because my name is Travis and i like axolotls...
Travis + axolotl = Traxolotl :D

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
