I cant believe he did this!!!
So yesterday, my boyfriends family was having a benefit party for his mom... so we decided to bring our reptiles with us to get some sunlight. We put our animals in the outdoor fence cage thing and we just put Cheery (the mellers cham)on our shoulder like normal. But he kept going to the ground... so we just let him walk around a little. Well i decide to go over to where the party was going on and my boyfriend stayed to watch all of the animals so the little kids dont go over and start poking at them. Welllll.. Nick decided to run and get a drink really quick- it was seriously only like 4 minutes...and when he got back, Cheery was missing!!!! So we didnt think he would get very far in 4 minutes... but we ended up looking for him for over 1 hour!!. where we were, there where a couple trees which we knew cheery couldnt get up because the bark was so spread out on it, it would take him forever to get up... then we thought to follow this little path that cheery kept going down, but he wasnt there...then we thought the only thing left for cheery to go was across this tiny stream of water into the thick bushes (which i prayed he didnt) So I was just watching to see if any of the tall grass over there was moving around, and nick went over and dug through all the thorn bushes, we were so upset because we couldnt find our baby anywhere.... then nick decided to go check out this tree about 20 feet from where we were, and there he was,.. sleeping on the end of the branch!!! We couldnt believe he crossed the creek, went through the thick weeds and got sooo far from where he was!! but nick climbed the tree and got cheery down. cheery actually stood out quite a bit because he had his sleeping colors going on. he got his tail hurt just a little from when nick climbed out to him, but he was perfectly fine!!! goes to show, NEVER leave chameleons unattended for even 3-4 minutes at a park!! The worst experience I have EVER had with that little monster!!
