Awe I am so sorry to hear that Monty has passed away. You really tried to give him the best and you should find some comfort in that I hope. I know it still hurts though and my heart goes out to you.
Thank you all. I am sobbing my eyes out right now I am so sorry he has left us.
I cleaned out his entire tank and drainage stand. I disinfected everything and threw away all the sticks I made for him. I can't wash those. They will get mold.
I checked on him in the container in the fridge (he is curled up in a towel inside of it) and rigor mortis has set in.
I took some of the shed skin off of his body and put it inside a small glass container. I want to keep it and maybe someday put it inside a locket. Maybe I will put an image of him on it.
I love him so much . I am just in shock. I didn't think it would happen to me.
I am so sorry to hear that Monty passed away. It is so hard when a beloved pet leaves us. I miss my guys everyday. You certainly gave him much love and a safe happy little home. Even so all the kind words won't take the hurt away but in time you will heal. I have only recently been able to look at the pictures of my boys without crying. I took everything down and put it away for a time. I also avoided the forums for the longest but am trying to be a regular again and prepare for yet another adventure in chameleon keeping. Hopefully in the late spring I will be able to bring another cham into my life. Keep your chin up. I know it's hard but you will be able to get through this.
