Description
Ackie Monitor
Ackie monitors are medium-sized lizards originating from Australia. Despite being medium lizards, they are quite small in comparison with other Varanids making them a great option as a first pet monitor lizard.
This species is diurnal and very active, which means they will almost always be out and about and on show during the day, so they make perfect display animals in a large naturalistic enclosure. This species is also highly intelligent, with many keepers choosing to target train their monitors which can be extremely rewarding for both monitor and keeper.
Ackie monitors can live peacefully with other individuals, however, extra care should be taken to provide them with lots of space and not to house two individuals of different sizes together. The cohabitation of Ackie monitors can still end badly, particularly if two males are housed together, so they should be monitored closely to ensure the two individuals are compatible. We also recommend against keeping a male and female together permanently, as this can put too much breeding strain on your female and lead to health issues down the line.
