Tribute To My Sweet Little Tate

Thank you for all of your support and kind words. It really means allot to me.

Allison, I just liked the name Tate and though it fit my little man perfectly.
 
Jann,

I'm so sorry you've lost a member of your family. Take comfort in knowing that you've provided the best of care to Tate and that he's moved on to that big chameleon cloud in the sky. Hang in there. Our thoughts are with you.
 
Jann, I am so very sorry for the loss of Tate! Your love for Little Tate is so obvious and abundant. All chams would be lucky to have you as their guardian. Thank you for sharing his story and I'm hoping you take comfort in the support you find here in the forum.
 
Awe Jann, I am so sorry you lost this little guy. He was so adorable! He lived the life of a king as do all your chameleons. He could not have gotten better care. Although his life was short, it was a beautiful one! RIP Tate. We will miss your on the forums.
 
I am so very sad that my sweet little Tate has left me. He was the sweetest little boy ever. So very laid back and never once got upset at anything. Back in 2014 he had a bump on his chin that was biopsied and from getting wet the stitched came out to early and it left two tiny holes in Tate's chin. You can see them in the photo of him when he's 14 months old. The vet thinks an infection started there due to water getting in those holes and setting there over time. In August he had a large abscess cleaned out in that jaw that left the right side of his face disfigured. A couple of weeks ago he started squinting that right eye and within a couple of days a few yellow spots appeared on that side of his face by his flap. The infection had moved up his cheek and he was put on an antibiotic but I guess it was to late. My sweet little man passed away last Thursday. My heart is broken and I miss him so much. Sleep tight Little Tate my precious little angel.

Jann, I'm soooo sorry to hear about littleTate. You did the best you could and he was very lucky to have you. I feel your pain and I know how hard it is loosing a Cham that you love so much. They're part of the family.

I'm sorry for the loss of your very handsome Tate. The loss of a pet is a dreaded day. Sweet little buggers.

Hey Jan,
Sorry for your loss, Tate was in great care in your hands. Flapneck was my first Cham he also was a very gentle guy. I loved when he displayed his flap feature.
