yeah we did call the 'clone' for a while.
She's great, follows the bigger one everywhere. The bigger one also shares her treats with her

| Quote: | The girl's name Niobe \ni(o)-be\ is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "fern". Mythology: Niobe was a boastful queen of Thebes whose children were killed by Apollo and Diana as a reprimand for her arrogance. She wept continously, and in time she turned into a stone from which water constantly streamed. Anyone with inconsolable sorrow is said to "weep the tears of Niobe".
A name from Greek mythology of uncertain derivation, Niobe was a queen of Thebes and daughter of Tantalus. Her continual weeping for her slain children turned her into a stone from which tears continued to flow. The story of Niobe is mentioned by Achilles to Priam near the end of Homer's Iliad, as a stock type for mourning. Another Niobe, also from Greek mythology, was a daughter of Phoroneus, and the first mortal woman to attract the love of the god Zeus. By Zeus, this Niobe was the mother of Argus, legendary founder of the Greek city of Argos. This Niobe lived many generations before Niobe, daughter of Tantalus. |
The meaning of the name Niobe, it was also the name of one of my first reptiles (a female leopard gecko)
