Hyla...that name just always carries a hint of menace...it really unnerves me

menace?? ya think??? i think he seems kinda docile. then again, i have hylas myself, and they're pretty gentle little things. they do pee on you when you hold them too much, but i don't suppose that's the imagery that's bothering you in this case, nor do i suppose that's really of interest to anyone a-Board. my guess is you're thinking of a multiple-headed snake, hmm?

you could always call him hylidae. a bit less specific, but at least we'd know what you meant.
