I would like to share something about Monty

I have been inactive here on the forums for quite a while, mainly due to my lack of chameleons in my house. But I thought it would be nice if I shared this thing I wrote in memory of my passed chameleon.

I am sad that I have not been able to participate in the forums lately, because if I do, I get emotional. Good luck to all of you and your cham-keeping endeavors. Soon I may purchase another little buddy and join you all again.
 
I loved reading Monty's story and I remember alot of it. Unfortunately, this is the sad part of owning pets. Most likely they are going to go before we do. All we can do is love them and supply them with all of their needs and the rest is up to god and nature. I hope one day you will consider getting another chameleon and rejoining the group again. Any chameleon would be lucky to have an owner who would love and care for them as you did Monty.
 
I understand how you feel. Since I lost my Ferdinand, it is sometimes hard to visit the forums. I feel a lot of guilt for his illness even though I know I did everything I could have for him. I had to move his cage into the garage - I couldn't handle seeing it empty in the corner.

It does ease up tho. I'm starting to think about having another chameleon friend at the end of the year.

That was a very nice story about Monty. He was a good looking little guy, and you gave him the best life he could have hoped for after such poor care.
 
It's good to "see" you, and I remember Monty. It's devastating when they leave us. :(

I hope you find a place in your heart for a new little guy, and that it arrives healthy and lives a long, happy life.
 
I'm glad to see you back on the forums. It take a long time to get over loosing one of these guys. I miss the ones I have lost every single day. When you are ready let me know and I can help you get a nice healthy chameleon. I help people re-home chameleons all the time.
 
Such a beautiful tribute to your little buddy. It's obvious how much you loved him.

It's very hard to watch them struggle and even harder when we lose them. One of my first frogs passed away shortly after I got her. She would have seizures and they were so hard to watch. She was on antibiotics and got calcium shots but there was nothing we could do to cure her and she ended up passing when I was at work one day.
 
Thank you to all who viewed and replied to this. I am thankful for your thoughts.

Hopefully I will be able to get back into the forums a little more sometime when I plan on getting another chameleon, but that is a little bit out there in the future since I do not know how my college situation stands.
