Remy has passed on. He has held a special place in my heart and has taught me and many others about MBD. Luckily he did not suffer long, he crashed in the course of a few days from what I would suspect to be organ failure from having MBD. He came to live with me in March of 2009 at 8 months old, so he would have been about 2 years and 3 months old. His cage had been modified over time to be a screen cage with plants and vines on the bottom with his UVB and basking lights also along the bottom sides of his cage. He was always mostly handfed, and had become quite a sucessful little beggar. Even my Great Dane would watch over him, letting me know if he had toppled over and could not right himself. In his last few days he was brilliant in yellow and red stripes.
Here are a few threads on him:

It has been a month of losses and gains. I lost Oscar Oustalet, he would have been 3 1/2, my second ever chameleon. He lost his mate about a year ago, and never seemed to do extremely well after that. He had gotten a URI, and even though we pulled him through, he still crashed. Could have been from the Baytril, or just the stress of it all. He was also my special cham.
On good notes, I believe Major Mellers has laid all of her eggs. I am excited to finally know that "it" is a girl! Evil (WC Nosy Be) is recovering from URI and seems to be getting his vision back with Vitamin A treatment-he has nearly bitten me more than a few times and is getting close to feeding on his own. I am also looking forward to some breeding projects after a year of not hatching anything. Next year should be exciting. In this hobby the good comes with the bad I suppose.
