I'm animal mad and love reptiles in particular. The ackie (varanus acanthurus) the ackie is by far the best monitor species to be kept as a pet. Jan 3, 2021 #1 hello there!

At Minimum An Enclosure Of 4 Feet Long By 2 Feet Wide And 2 Feet Deep Is Required, But Bigger Is Better.


While monitors are definitely not for newbie herpers, the ackie monitor is the best monitor if you don’t have much prior experience with these kinds of lizards. So i was thinking that something like 6'l x 2'w x 2'h would be more resonable. If you are successful in maintaining a healthy environment, your ackie monitor pet will remain with you for so long.

They have a thick spiny tail used to wedge itself in rock crevices making it very difficult for predators to get them out. They are a very active lizard and like to burrow in the substrate. Due to their relatively small size (for monitors) and generally good temperment, ackies make a good starter monitor but are attractive enough to appeal to more experienced keepers too.

I've Read That 4' L X 2'W X 2'H Is An Acceptable Minimum, But This Seems Rather Small For Such An Active Animal.
