He hasn’t opened his eyes. He started shedding this morning, but still barely active.

I am filled with heartbreak and grieve saying this
Sherbert passed away this morning. I was not home, but my parents went to check on him. once they found him they took him to the vet, where they said he was gone. I do not know what to do on the forum anymore, now that I feel I have lost all I worked up too, so I'm going to take a break.
@MissSkittles thank you for helping me from the very start. @Beman you have been so knowledgeable on so many things, and you are amazing at sharing that knowledge, @elizaanne2 you have been such a good friend, and an amazing guest speaker on Chameleon Academy., Everyone else, You have made this forum possible. I have learned So much, and met so many people. I will continue to check in on the forum every now and then, but wont be posting until I have healed. Loosing Sherbert has been so much harder than my first boy, Pascel, so Im going to need a lot more time to recover. thank you all for your help and support

I’m so so sorry! We’ll be here for you, even if you take a permanent break, you’ll always have our support! There are some pets that are soul pets, you just have an extra special relationship with. I’ve sadly dealt with that with my first cham, Pico, and while it took a few years to “heal” (I wouldn’t say actually healed, more like I’d healed enough), he was my inspiration to eventually get back into the hobby. I know this sucks and hurts, so if we/I can do anything for you, please let us/me know! Sending hugs, love, and support!

Oh no…. 
I’m so very sorry. If only there were words to help ease the heartbreak and loss. Take all the time you need to grieve. Do also celebrate the joy and beauty that Sherbert put into your life. If you return to the forum, I’ll be one of many who’s thrilled to see you again. If you choose not to return, that’s okay and I’m very happy to have had the opportunity to ‘meet’ and get to know you. Sending you love and hugs.

I am so desperately sorry to hear this.... These moments are the ones that crush me for others going through it. My helicopter mom side comes out and I wish I could fix heartbreak for others. Unfortunately I can not so it leaves me in this one moment with you. I can not express enough what an amazing keeper you have become. I know saying stuff happens randomly with these amazing creatures does not heal your heart. I know that for you this is still pain and sadness. Please know we are here when you want to come back... We are here if you want to just come help others and take a break. Stepping away from the forum may feel like the right thing to do for you and it may also be the community you need to work through this grief. I know you have a strong support system in your family... just know you have one in your chamily here as well. I am sending you heaps of love and will keep you in my thoughts as you take the time you need to heal.

I am truly lucky to have this forum for support. I have had time to process sherbert’s death, we got his little mitten prints on a picture frame and on clay. He is buried in front of the house, so when I move I can always drive by and see him, I plan on making a memorial garden where he was buried, and idea on what plants can last outside year round? Arnold, my bearded dragon hasn’t left my side, and has helped me go through this so much easier than I thought it would be. Sherbert was my second chameleon, and the first one I truly had time to care for. I’m going to miss his sweet, angry, and funny personality. It will be a while before I get another chameleon, I’m going to wait for the right time. May my sweet boy, rest in peace

oh no!!!
I am so sorry. You clearly did all you could for Sherbert. I'll never forget losing Max. It immediately broke my heart and I felt so much blame. I totally understand needing time to recover. It took me a long time to do that myself. It took some encouraging on here to get me to try another chameleon. I'm thankful I did but at the same time it is so hard to deal with death I wish you the best and I hope you at least return to remain in contact!

I’m so glad you have those keepsakes, and the garden is a great idea! My past two chams had their mitten prints taken in clay, and it’s been so nice having something to remember them by, something that they touched. Give Arnold a treat for me, I’m glad he’s been there for you! Evergreen plants and native plants are great starting points for the memorial garden. Pollinator plants I feel would also be nice, attract some bugs in Sherbert’s honor
