Kronic the Veiled

I am sad to say that my Best Bud has passed away suddenly. Lets go back some time me and my wife bought a Veiled chameleon for my sons Birthday. Big mistake. My son wanted a pet he could handle and low and behold the chameleon was not that pet. So I bought him a snake and me and Kronic became good buds. I just dont understand. I cam e home from work and he was doing his hanging from the cage ripping crickets with his long tongue out of his food bowl. I misted him down as i always do when I get home. And he loved it. I went out side to light up the BBQ and come back inside to show him the new stick I picked up at Pets Inc. and he was on the bottom of the cage on his side. Not breathing and his tongue was hanging out and he has dark dark green. That's the same color he get when he is disturbed. You will have to excuse me I am so sad cant stop crying. My compadrea is gone. I has taken me like 7 months to get him to sit on my shoulder while I cleaned his cage. He liked to hold my ear. So I got him out of the house and took some time watching him lay there so peacefully. I have laid him to rest in our garden under a huge rock that rests peacefully. That way can talk to him, look I a crying again. I am a grown man what wrong with me? I cleaned his cage and took his plant and put it in a beautiful pot and put it in the front of the window that he looked out every morning. How is it possible that someone can get so attached. I normally have to clean my kids cage after they lost a pet. But I didn't have that support. But oh well. Well I already miss you Kronic. I Love you.

I don't know. I have come to understand and respect the Chameleon, will I get another one oh heck yes but how soon, time only tells.
 
Very sorry for your loss-it does break your heart a little when they go. If it was truly healthy-it sounds like it could have choked.

A few questions-someone in a past post determined your cham was female-was that the case? Did you ever get a bigger cage?
 
im so sorry for your loss :( i had a rabbit for 6 years and i always had the thought that "its just a rabbit" but when he gor murderd my a weiner dog....i cried for a bit and it wasnt the easiest digging his final resting place, espicially because it was raining when i did it, but the next day i got up and the sun was shining right on the spot in my garden he used to like to dig in and thought to myself well what the heck he is probably in a better place now :) Hope you feel better soon man!
 
I am so sorry for ur loss, ur a great guy for sharing and I wish there was somethin i could do to make it all better or take away what went wrong, it's gotta be darn tough to loose a Chamy, i would be so broken hearted also it would kill me; ur lil buddy will be missed by many
 
I am so sorry you lost him. :( Although we love them dearly we sometimes don't realise quite how much until they are gone. It is truly heartbreaking to lose a cham. When I lost Lily the house just wasn't the same without her, it was awful. I was going to wait a while before getting another, but I missed her so much I found a new baby pretty soon after. Hang in there, I am thinking of you.
