I have been off the forums for a while. Busy with school (working on my MBA), kids (single parent of 3), work, my other kids (my pets; which include a reef tank, an amazon river fish tank, a pair of guinea pigs, emperor scorpion, and my pair of panther chameleons Sir Lancelot, and Cammie. I never thought my first day back to this forums would be to share my grief.
Today, I took my chameleons out to enjoy a little sun, when out of nowhere came a red tail hawk and snatched Sir Lancelot out of the ficus tree he was on. It happened so fast I could do nothing but watch it fly away with my lizard in its talons. I was shocked. Red tail hawks, peregrine falcons, and some large owls are birds of prey found in San Diego. In the past, I always looked up at the sky and checked for large birds flying near by... to make sure my chams are safe while enjoying southern California sunlight about once a week. Today... I made the mistake not to look up, and paid steeply for it. My three and a half year old male ambilobe is gone!
