He died some time this morning. I'd noticed he was feeing sick, but I wasn't really sure what to do with it. I know long-tailed grass lizards don't live that long, but still .. I had a real attachment to him. He was my only solace in that horrible Jesus house I lived in last semester. He was my best friend while I was there. He used to lie on my hand while I typed on my computer, just enjoying the warmth and wrapping his tail around my fingers. I would get up every morning and raise the blinds next to his cage so he could enjoy natural warmth. I got him a dinosaur background for his cage. I re-arranged my whole room so he could have a change of scenery.
And this morning, when I woke up, just nine months after I found him at the Pet Store, he was on his back. It made me want to vomit. He looked so pale and shriveled up and - God, it was horrible. I can't even think about it.
