Canonically, we know both that Sally used to call Arthur Sparky (see the SPARKY + SALAMANDER text on the ‘wedding stones’ in the Parade), and that Arthur’s current lizard is Sparky (as evidenced by obituary text). Lizards only live about 15 years, so we all know what that means.
When they separated, Arthur got the closest thing he could find to a salamander and named it what his very own salamander used to call him.Â
