Bye Pablo, my little baby.....

[ReptileLove18]

Last night my baby veiled chameleon died....... he had been lethargic the last several days, still eating and drinking but sleeping most of the day. he had been checked out by the local reptile vet due to keeping one eye shut constantly. she originally thought there was something stuck in his eye but when he began to close the other eye and wander around like that she said he most likely had a tumor that he was born with due to the unreputable breeder the pet store got him from, that i just found out is known to inbreed their chameleons.... this morning when we went to uncover his cage and turn his lights on we found him dead on the bottom of his cage... im absolutely heartbroken and angry that his life ended so due to the uncaring of a breeder. we did everything right for him and there was nothing we could do to save him from his untimely death... i cant stop crying and everytime i look up at his dark and empty tank the pain stabs me yet again.. the loss of this little guy is horrible and heartbreaking. even tho i had him for less then a month i love Pablo and i miss him terribly. i keep wishing there was something else i could have done but there isnt.. my baby Pablo is gone and he took a piece of my heart with him. we are going to buy a rose bush this evening and we will lay him to rest in the soil so that we will always keep our Pablo with us...
when i am ready i will get another cham and put the same love i put into Pablo into it.. im not going to turn away from chams because of the loss of this little guy.. i gave him the best life possible and will do so for another baby when im ready.. this time from a breeder who cares for their chams and will hopefully not get a sickly baby again..
Goodbye Pablo, my beloved baby. i miss you terribly and am sorry for what you had to go thru.. im glad i brought you home and gave you the life you deserved for the time you had.........

Jasmine, thanks for doing so much for him while you could. Sometimes there is nothing more you can do, but that is little consolation. Hope to see a thread from you soon with a healthy new baby cham! Good luck.
