I'm with you on Armenian cukes as well as same grown in Lebanon.They are called Cucumis melo while regular cukes are C.sativus.
And C. Melos are also known as Serpent melons since they are long and ridged and curl up much like certain snakes do as well and and you never have to peel them . I used to harvest them when they were shorter than about 2 ft long .I still have someone grow them for me here at home.

Carolyn, almost forgot, but they come in different colors seen between the ridges so not just all green ones. Last I knew Baker Creek and several other places were selling seeds.So maybe do another Google Search but be sure to enter Serpent melons.
