Goodbye sweet lil one -R.I.P LiL Foot-

[Hoj]

My sweet female Quad LiL Foot came to me almost a year ago from a small clutch of very tiny babies. She was with me for the past year and has always been so sweet and the biggest mystery I have ever had sexing a cham.
She had not been eating well, so today I decided to leave work and go grab her a few butterworms as they are her fav, and sneak home to offer a mid day snack. Well when I walked into the room I spotted her right away, laying black and motionless on the floor of her cage. I removed her and she took a last breath and passed. I held her as she changed to a pretty green as they do and said my goodbyes.
I had high hopes of breeding her soon, so loosing her is extra sad.

Her first few days with me, came in at a whopping 2.9g

And the last few pics i have of her from about 2 weeks ago

Even as I post this I have a hard time believing she is gone, she was one of my most photogenic chams and always a joy.

LiL Foot you will be missed and never forgotton,
R.I.P LiL one

So sorry for your loss. Life can be so cruel but so rewarding. We for sure have so much to learn about these sooo specialized chams even if we think we know so much already. Remember her time with you.
