Pascal the chameleon dies

Pascal, Truman State Herpetarium‘s veiled chameleon, died Nov. 18 of old age.

Courtney Rice, Truman State University Herpetarium Logistics Manager, says Pascal’s lifetime of about 8 years was typical for his species. She says the chameleon was donated to the university and therefore not much is known about his life before arriving at Truman. During his life, Pascal was a popular attraction in his tank in Marauder Hall.

“Pascal has been used in many of our outreach programs, and we loved having him with us,” Rice says.
