R.I.P Gizmo

So it breaks my heart to have to post this here but I had to say goodbye to my nosy be Gizmo.
last week he developed a rectal prolapse and we got to the vet but sadly our best efforts failed and we lost him later that night.
He was the second cham I ever got and was always the nicest most chill cham ever, over the years he went to many expos, did pet therapy session and is featured on Arcadias website.
He never ever showed any aggression not even to other male chams.
He was the first cham many people ever help and always won over every person he ever met.
He was the whole reason that I ever got into breeding chams and for that I will always be greatfull.
Luckily I have a few clutches still from him and about 20 babies 1 who decided to hatch the very night he left us.
Good bye my lil blue buddy you will be forever in my heart and never forgotten.







the little guy that hatched that night, ( he will be staying with us and prob a few others to help carry on the Gizmo genes.





Thx for looking

Poor little Gizmo I'm really sorry.

He was beautiful Hoj! Keep his memories in your heart and enjoy the offspring he left behind. He made a cute "stork" for a cute baby delivery too, BTW.
Hugs.

Life is a cycle with out death there is no life as u can attest to with the new one just so happening to be born that same night. May he live on in ur hearts and he will never be forgotten.

So special to have a new life started that very night! I know Gizmo will be missed, and I'm so sorry that he didn't make it through the ordeal. Rest In Paradise little one.

I had the pleasure of meeting the gorgeous Gizmo, albeit briefly, when I chose my little Flint. He was truly a stunner, and very much loved. I am so sorry for your loss Hoj, but take comfort in the little ones that he gave you and in your happy memories of him.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

I loved Gizmo right along with you. What fun we had talking about our chams every day. I will miss Gizmo, he was a one of a kind cham. I will never forget him, and all the wonderful things you told me about him. RIP sweet Gizmo, you will be missed.

I'm sorry for your loss nosy bes seem to be the most friendly locale in my opinion for some reason. Beautiful cham though its nice your carrying on his genes!

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of such a fantastic cham. RIP little one, and may your friendly genes live on in your children

I just saw this- so sorry for your loss Hoj

Thank you so much everyone for all the well wishes and thoughts. I still can't believe he's not here anymore.

Sorry for your loss.
