This is the hardest and most painful thing I've ever had to write. I'm in total shock and so confused. I got home tonight to find mia on the floor with her eyes shut :( I picked her up she was cold her eyes were shut she opened them a tiny bit once I had her in my hands then closed them again. It was just gone 9 so I rang the emergency vets nearest one that deals with reptiles and they told me to bring her in which I did. Half an hour later we got there but as I was walking through the door she gasped and died. I'm totally heart broken, this morning she drank and ate and even had her normal walk around the room I last saw her 6pm she was fine then or so she seemed. :( I don't believe she has fallen there ain't a mark on her not egg bound she showed no signs of having eggs either and the vet doesn't believe she had eggs as she's free ranged I always kept an extra eye on her and she had two laying bins either side of her free range. She would of been 3 this year I don't get it. The vet wanted to do a postmortem but I said no I don't want her little body cut. :( been nothing but tears since I found her she looks so peaceful and pretty with her beautiful colors showing. This is the first time I've lost a chameleon and my God does it hurt. I'm gonna bury her in my garden tomorrow near her favorite spot for catching the sun. This is my favorite pic of her the first time she got the English sunshine aged 6months.

I'm gonna miss you my sweet friendly little girl, the cuddles, kissing your little nose having to clean up get dressed with you on mg head because you always wanted to be with me. You were my first reptile and taught me so much, R.I.P mummys sweet sweet girl. I love you alwaysand will never forget our time together.
 
Losing her and it being so sudden, is terrible. One minute she is fine and then gone, that is why I never relax as a cham owner. She had such a good life with you, she was loved and well cared for, now that wonderful girl will live on in your heart forever. RIP mia
 
I am so sorry!! THis is my biggest fear as well, I worry so much about my boys! I am so sad that you have to go through this! :(:(
 
Its the worst feeling ever I can't stop the tears, I've wrapped her in a blanket and put her in a box ready to bury tomorrow morning. Its 1.40am here in England and I'm still up don't know what to do with myself. Just sitting looking at her free range it hurts not seeing her sleeping in it. :( :(
 
I am so very sorry. My heart goes out to you during this sad and very difficult time. As hard as it was for you I am so glad she had you to hold and comfort her as she passed. Please know you are in my heart and prayers during this very painful time.

That's why I kept her in my hands from the moment I found her until I got back home after she'd died cause I knew in my heart she was passing and didn't want dying alone in a box.
 
So very sorry to hear this and it must be especially hard when you were not expecting it. I know you gave her a wonderful life and my heart goes out to you. Very sorry for your loss.
 
Very sorry to hear about Mia. No one will ever replace her, but another cham might fill the emptiness and bring its own personality into your life.
 
I am so sorry to hear that Mia passed. I keep hearing from non-reptile people that their just lizards, but to us folks who really know our friends they are so much more. We love them, we cry when we lose them and we recognize their personalities.

We all cry with you as Mia crosses over the rainbow bridge.
 
So sorry. I feel for you. Our male veiled died in January after 4 great years with us. My kids are sometimes still crying when they remember him. Find her a beautiful and peaceful spot to rest.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss, and coming out of the blue like that must be quite the shock. Remember the good times though, and from what you wrote it sounds like she had a fantastic life with you. When you are ready, take another cham and give them the same experience that Mia was treated to.

Yes i think that too, i probs will get a new one as its only been one day and i can't bare her tree being empty and in darkness. But no one will ever replace her.
 
I burried her this morning and bought two rose bushes one yellow and one orange i will plant them next to her grave tomorrow.

Here's some of my fav pics over the 2 1/2 yrs i had her.
