Stress

Chamic Apr 20, 2004 11:31 AM

Can stress kill your chameleon? Also, I thank you sunshineherp and carlton for trying to help me out. My chameleon died last night and I will do as you say next time I get a chameleon (which will probably be awhile since it is all my fault for hurting these delicate creatures. I am really down right now for not taking care of him as I am suppost to. I think I might commit suicide.

Thanks,
Ethan Trowbridge

Many many many keepers made the same mistakes. You are not an evil person and we'd like to have you around!!! Just think. Now that you learned a lot about your first cham you will probably become a very kind and caring keeper...and that is what chams in captivity need most.

Take some time and read about chams. They are beautiful and fascinating and you are not alone in wanting one. I bet you will find that you want another one someday to share your life. And by having something to care for you will be glad you stuck the down times out believe me!
