RIP Kush the Cham

RIP Kush, he died today, no idea why, possibly an acute onset respiratory infection... He was my first Cham, I've had him for a bit over 2 years, and he was one of my favorites.... He will deff be missed :(

This is what he looked like the day I got him, about the length of my finger

It's always very sad to lose a pet...especially when we have no idea why. I'm very sorry. :(

awee thats so sad! but i do love the name!!! well how old was he? and now hes in little fruit fly heaven! eating out his hearts content! :P



sry saw over 2 years! >_<

Thank you guys ! I appreciate it, anybody who understood the origin of the name loved it, with his coloration it suited him perfectly too... I think my next Cham's name will be along the same lines... When I got him he was in a 30G vertical with another male from his clutch and he was deffinitely obviously the dominant animal, his spunk is what made me want him, he always stood his ground and even wouldn't back down to me... Ill never forget him, little dude had quite a personality, and people who don't keep reptiles don't understand that they can be great pets that can be social... What I'm upset about is he was really just starting to warm up to me lately, not as much cage aggression, and he was willing to eat right from my hand... But those are the memories I'll always have... I should consider myself lucky that I got my first Cham to last this long, I know people who could never keep a Cham for longer than 6 months even with proper husbandry.... I'm already looking at panthers, as sad as it is to think I'm replacing him, my buddy owns a herp shop and he has a beautiful blue nosy be for sale, or I'm thinking about waiting to see if he could get me an ambilobe... My mom felt horrible that he died and offered to get me another as a Christmas gift... I guess that's good news :)
