My darling Chloe had to be put down a little while ago. It was a very emotional experience and the first chameleon that I really got attached to that I’ve lost. I cried a lot and the vet and vet tech was very upset as well. The worst part is to the untrained eye she seemed healthy. She ate and drank this morning and was active. She even stopped closing the one eye and was very alert with both. But after a look inside her mouth ----putting her down was the right thing to do. I’m happy she had the most peaceful death an animal can have and never suffered or starved, and the terrible pain she did feel is now gone.
I feel like I should put a little something about her besides how she died. Chloe was so sweet, she never grumped at me. She turned reddish or really blue when she basked. She LOVED food and was my little chunky monkey. She loved her vines by the window and looking at me with both eyes. She was always watching me. None of my other chameleons seemed to care about what I was doing the way she did. She liked watching me make my bed in the mornings and pawed at the glass if she really wanted out. She pawed at the glass this morning.
I loved Chloe very much and will never forget her. I believe I got myself a flashbulb memory, but the good kind from this. Instead of having the memory of her dead- I didn’t look at her body and had her put in a towel- I remember her looking around the room, before she started to fail badly, a chameleon who had eaten and felt ok besides this pain in her mouth, going to sleep.
Heres her reaching up while in my hand. She always did that- like how caterpillers do.

she needed little things for her little hands
She will be missed by all
