For those that knew or didnt know i risked buying a baby meller at the San diego reptile super show. I knew he/she wasnt in the best of health but decided to take the chance and learn from it and was hoping to save it,
the baby mellers i called "Mel" lived and i felt was happy for two-weeks, he/she ate fruit flies and drank pretty good, but in the end came to a sudden stop and just collapsed today. i feel really bad that i couldnt save it, BUT i knew i think i prolonged the inevitable farther than it could have been.
He/she was a true fighter, stubborn and trying to go agaisnt the odds, Mel was a very young cham, too young to be sold, i good guess he was only 3 weeks, died ad about 5 weeks old or so.
It was hard because i started to have a bond with the little guy, but i learned/experienced alot and will carry that with me.
Mel will be burried next to a hibiscus plant in our yard, to remind me what i experienced and learned from carring for him/her.
Rest in Peace Mel, you will always be remembered as a fighter to the end
