I Lost My Friend

[MrGonzo123]

It's a sad day Chameleon Forum. Today I lost my 4 month old Nosy Be, Checko. I place his cage outside so that he can get some sun and I left the bottom of his cage open. The cage was unattended for about 2 hours before I noticed he was gone. I checked my neighbors trees knowing that Chams like to climb. This is the second Cham I lost like this. I feel like crap right now

oh no, that is horrible! How heart breaking to lose another chameleon. Dont stop looking, maybe you will get lucky and find him tonight in a tree with a flashlight.

 

[teejayteej]

oh my .... I hope that you keep looking and find him. so sorry

yike- well, dont give up - get looking !!! look first in close things, and start going out from there- fence tops too- tonight, get a flash light and look in the trees, even the one you have already looked in - also maybe check your gutters if he can get up to them - that stinks also maybe put up flyers - encase someone who has no idea what he is finds him - good luck , let us know if you find the little guy

Don't give up keep looking around for him forsure but make sure you get a recharable Qbeam spotlight works best or even a bigger size Mag lite an when it starts getting dark this eve an when its dark tonight be out in the yard an neighbors trees with the Qbeam or brite flashlight an shine it everywhere an youll find him.. its always easier to spot them when there sleeping. ive hadta find a few escapes this way lol an it works real good so don't give up..

Don't give up!!! I lost my male flapneck on thursday, I began to panic and searched the trees surrounding his enclosure and shure enough he was in the tree right above his enclosure. Don't give up hope you wil find him!

 

[MrGonzo123]

I just got back from Wal-Mart and bought a flashlight.. Hopefully he will turn up

 

[MelissaB]

Good luck, I hope you find him. Try not to give up hope. There's a thread on this forum about someone that lost their cham for four months, and found him. So it is possible to have a happy ending. If you can get people to help you look, that would be good, too. The more eyes the better! Sorry you're going through this.

that's the spirit now remember look everywhere with it an his sleepin colors will show up against its surroundings.. happy hunting

Don't give up. Keep looking because he's out there. Look in the trees/bushes the closest to where he escaped. They often go up the first tree they come too.

And if you don't find him right away, you may find him later. There have been members on here who have lost theirs and found them weeks and even months later. It doesn't seem like they venture all too far. I would also alert all of your neighbors. One member got his back that way. A neighbor found it on the screen door or on the side of the house. Good luck to you!

 

[MrGonzo123]

I don't want to give up hope, but this is the second Cham I lost.. I have soo many birds flying around these trees.. It's not looking good

 

[carol5208]

how did you lose the first one?

 

[MrGonzo123]

I have officially called off the search.. My Cham is gone.. and I'm going to accept that fact.. DAMN!!!!!!!!

 

[MrGonzo123]

how did you lose the first one?

I left the cage outside and the wind blew it over.. He crawled out and disappeared !

 

[jamjam]

Call it a night tonight get some rest if thats possible but take another look in the morning its still quite early to be giving up imo. I really do hope you find him as well as everyone on the forum.

 

[MrGonzo123]

I started my search this morning with a pair of binoculars.. No luck...I'm done
