http://nickandcaranoles.tripod.com/home/pics/camillo.htm She was skinny from the beginning. However, she was the more sociable of the two that I got from the store; she would actually jump on my hand when I would clean her cage. She was rarely ever brown, except when something was really wrong. She ate the first two crickets when I brought her home. However, around early October, Indiana started to cool. The then-current lighting arrangement didn't work enough, so she couldn't digest her food. By the time we found a vet to which to take her, it was too late. I found her laying on the floor of the cage, surrounded by crickets that were eating her. The ceramic heat emitter had burnt out the first night we bought it, which probably didn't help. She died on October 26, 2002, around 12-3 AM.
Awww, so sorry to hear that Camillo. She looked like an absolute beauty, and certainly didn't seem skinny any more. That photo at the bottom right of the page with her mouth wide open looks great. I bet it took a while to get that one. You got a lot of good pics of her, and she knows she was loved very much and will always be remembered - not just by you, but by everybody else here on the site who heard about her antics
She knew she was loved and took that knowledge with her....sometimes it's all they need when nothing else can be done......sorry for your loss [Edited on 22/11/2002 by blessedbe]
What wonderful pictures you have of her. I am sorry she has left you. But she left you with much more than you had before she came. That knowlegde and memories will be with you always. Cheri
Actually, that picture was of her yawning. She had been crawling all over my hand when my girlfriend came over. Just as I snapped the digital camera, she yawned. It was perfect. I use that picture everywhere now. I think one of the main things that caused her death was the fact she had laid eggs. That took a lot out of her. Even though I fed my crickets well, it wasn't enough. Ah, well. When I move out and get anoles, I'll make sure my house is properly heated; especially the anole room
She looks adorable. I am so sorry for you loss but at least she had a wonderful owner like you to love and care for her.
I am so sorry. Like Tasha says, I bet you were the best owner she had and I bet she loved you for caring. she looks so lovely
