Sorry for your loss. Get back in the saddle and if you really want to know what happened, you could think about getting an necropsy from the vet. If you plan on acquiring another cham, be sure to disinfect and clean up all your equipment to prevent any contamination.
Very nice shot! He looks like a great male! Here is my male, it still amazes me how they go through growth spurts.
Chris, check this dealer out, in Japan so obviously not to buy, but good pictures to look at none the least.

Brad I just tell my partner to get over it and deal with the bugs. After 8 years he has grown to live with my need for repiles (and feeders). He hates crickets and roaches, but have a fond love for silkies - hornworms freak him out. I love it when they spit at him. - bah.

Dubia's aren't fliers but they do and will in fact gain short distances and heights by fluttering. There is a difference between flying and fluttering, but they both accomplish the task of getting out and moving from point A to point B.
That said, I hate all roaches - cant handle them - gross...
Royden,
You may want to read "The Chameleon Panther" by Fugerson, Murphy, Ramanamanjato, and Raselimanana. Turn to page 15, Behavioral Regulation of Nutrition. Although little is known about nutritional requirements in captivity, the experiment shown using senegals depicting prey preference...
Hi all - dont forget that in addition to a healthy and nutritious food source for our cham's, chameleons always need a varied diet for personal well-being.
Although it may seem pointless to feed a mantid (a feeder that eats another feeder) the addition of such a feeder enhances the overall...
Sean,
