Welcome to the first video in a series I have called 'A Naturalistic Way'.
The aim of this series is to show how you can create naturalistic and enriching enclosures for your animals.
This one is showing you my Varanus acanthurus or Ackie Monitor enclosure.
Here you will see how my pair act over the course of a day and exhibit some natural behaviours yet remain hand tame. This is contributed to 2 factors.
- The naturalistic setup which provides enrichment.
- The way I feed them which you will see later in the video

Scatter feeding:
With the use of grasses and leaf litter scatter feeding encourages the foraging. I scatter feed either roaches, locust or crickets mixing it up every 2-3 days.
Hand Feeding:
I hand feed them once a week. This keeps them used to me and hand tame and gives me a chance to give them a visual heath check.
