12 lizards in a trenchcoat

i had to say goodbye to my sweet barbeque chicken nugget, vendetta, today. i'm absolutely heartbroken. just last night she came out and sat on my hand while i was cleaning out her food, and today she's gone.

vendetta was one of the OG's in my collection, one of the first reptiles i ever owned. she's been with me for a little over 4 years and was by my side all throughout college. she even came with me to some of my herpetology classes as an education animal; she had the silliest, grumpiest little personality and everyone that met her fell in love. i'm at a total loss as to what happened. she was super gravid so my only guess is that there was some sort of complication regarding that because her behavior was normal and she was otherwise healthy as can be.
