6 years ago to the day tomorrow - Zilla came to the store, with a brother. Almost the size of our finger. The brother quickly found a home. But for some reason Zilla stayed.
A little visitor at the store came up with the name Zilla after a few years, of her being with us.
Female chameleons don't have a very long life span. So as the years went by, we started talking that maybe Zilla was just meant to stay with us at Eden. We really had grown attached. People loved to visit her. After a while, we just told people there was no way we could part with her. She literally ate out of our hands. She knew us. She was ours.
The last few months she started to slow down. We knew we were looking at the senior years. But we just didn't expect this. It was all too sudden.
Sadly, today we said goodbye. It was so fast we didn't even get a moment to say goodbye. Sometimes it can be so hard to process. And we're just grateful she didn't suffer.
The store just doesn't feel the same without her. She will forever be missed. We're so grateful for our time with her. And all those that she helped educate.
Fly high Zilla - You'll truly be missed.
