    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    They sure make cute little pets, right? That's cool that the vet in your area knew to call you! The pet shop I bought mine from told me not to bother when I mentioned I was getting her as a pet and not a feeder, said they are too difficult to keep alive as pets. Um, no. She gets the same level...

    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    Thank you, he was definitely very loved and is missed. It’s hard not having him to care for, he was such a part of my daily routine. I still have a green anole in that room but she’s the last of my exotic pets. I bought her on a whim just a month after I got Marlo from the breeder. She was being...

    Thank you so much for your very kind words, I really appreciate it. I like what you said about this being the bargain we all make, that’s very true and helps to remember.

    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    Thank you, I'll always miss him and his super sweet personality. I'll especially miss the side-eye he always gave me when i came in the room.

    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    Thank you very much. We laid him to rest under our beautiful cherry tree yesterday and said our goodbyes. Today I'll need to disassemble his enclosure because it's so sad to see it empty now...

    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    Thank you so much. It was definitely an awesome adventure, you are right about that! Just last month my husband came into the living room and said calmly "one of your roaches escaped and is on the bedroom floor." and I ran in an scooped it up the dubia and put it back in it's bin. And we laughed...

    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    Thanks, that is helpful. I will read through your thread about Beman. I learnt a whole lot about Chameleons with Marlo. I learnt how to breed silkworms, various roaches, stick insects, and even grasshoppers. I spent summer days in open fields with a butterfly net catching wild insects for him...

    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    Marlo was still alive this morning; he was a bit bloated and his eyes were clearly bothering him a lot (new development) so I went forward with the vet appointment. I had to wait in my car while she examined him and she called me on the phone to discuss. She seemed pretty judgmental at first...

    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    Thank you. I called every veterinary hospital in my area and the next city over and only found one veterinarian that will see reptiles (a cat clinic) so I made an appointment for tomorrow morning. But I'm not feeling great about it because it is curbside only, so I have to drop him off to be...

    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    Thank you very much. I have a very close friend who is a veterinarian and I consulted with her last night and she has helped me understand what signs to look for. I'm just unsure whether to stress him by transferring to a vet or to keep him home and comfortable in hospice. I haven't yet decided...

    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    thank you. I was really hoping for one last summer with him since he loved his sunny time outdoors but i guess that is not to be. He made it through the night, pastel colors and all, and is very still and quietly sleeping...I just dont want him to suffer but so far he is peaceful as he shuts...

    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    thank you, he's been such a cool little companion. I have endless good memories of him. He hasn't passed yet but he's calm and still and peacefully sleeping...

    He’s cuddled up on some shirts now under his (raised) heater.

    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    Thank you. It’s been a really difficult day. He woke up and I was able to hold him so that he could take a long drink of water before settling back down to sleep again. But here he is right after drinking.

    I think my guy is dying, I'm so sad!

    I don't know what to do and I'm totally panicking. Marlo has gone downhill fast, even since yesterday. He's been acting pretty odd in the last week or two, sleeping downward, hanging by his tail, sleeping during the day. This morning I found him nose down in a plant so I moved him back to his...

    Chameleon sleeping downward a lot and hanging by tail

    Thanks for your reply! I'm so sorry to hear your girl had cancer. I've been avoiding moving him to the smaller enclosure since he does still move all around, but I think you're right and i could just give it a try. So the cloth hammocks you used, they were hung to break any potential falls? I...
