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

Thank you for the plant recommendations. I think im going to get a Bleeding Heart, they are supposed to last for five years, I'm also going to add a few others.
I will definitely give Arnold a treat!

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!

Thank you for sharing this, Steve.
I have realized that I probably won’t fully recover, but the love and care from this forum will make it pretty close. Loosing sherbert has been hard, and not helping others on here will make my pain worse. I decided I want to continue to be on this forum and help others the way you all have helped me. I’m so incredibly thankful for everyone on here. I truly couldn’t go through this without y’all .

Absolutely. There are always days when I still think of Max and how I wish I had learned more, faster, so she could still be alive. But losing her pushed me to get to that point to where I understood better and adhered to the "cautions" of raising a chameleon better.

I'm glad to see you'll stick around! I'm sure what you've learned can be of help to others.
