Happy hatch month Beman, 6 years old

Awwww thanks! I try :hilarious: Happy you have had a great experience. I know in the beginning it is kinda overwhelming but you have done really well ❤️

Thank you! I'll always be grateful. I am very sure that I would not have even attempted another chameleon if it weren't for your guidance.

Honestly it is stories like yours that warm my heart. This is why I give so much time to the forum. I want so very much for people to have positive experiences keeping chams and for chameleons to thrive with their keepers. Most of the time people are very receptive to feedback like you were and this is what overrides the ones that are not as receptive. So thank you for being you and being another reminder of why I am here. :)
 
How amazing! Happy hatch month! He is such a distinguished man in his old-age. What a lucky guy to have had you taking such good care of him all these years.
 
Happy Hatch Month Beman!! You have grown so much in the past 6 years!! Can't wait to see you in future posts!!! 🦎 💕 🥳
 
Thanks everyone! It honestly is just mind blowing to me.

The last year was perhaps the hardest for me. I do not really speak about him aging much in the forum. A few of my very close friends here know about the struggle of watching him age. The major things I have seen is the arthritis in the front arm causing intermittent minor swelling. He is not as nimble on his feet which is why I added more branches in between branches. Then he will go through periods of closing his eyes off and on then all the sudden he is fine. Old age is a hard thing to experience since they hide how they feel so well. I am at a stage of just monitoring him and making sure he is getting what he needs to be a happy old man.

I am very thankful for this community and my ability to pass on the information I have learned to other new keepers. I think that is what makes the forum special. A place without judgement where people can come and get accurate husbandry information from kind and compassionate people. So y'all keep being amazing and making this the best place to be! ❤️
There is a gift and curse to having an older pet. We know what is eventually inevitable is creeping closer..but them being older means we have been gifted with time and so many more wonderful moments. To know that he is secure and comfortable and lacking for nothing should also bring you comfort. Unfortunately due to husbandry too few chameleons are lucky enough to reach their senior years so enjoy every single moment with this special little man who means so much to so many.🙏
