How to maintain Ackie monitor temps 

I thoroughly enjoyed the ackie yawn.

Great video as always. I love how you emphasize that different enclosures need different heat. Everyone needs to figure out what THEY need.

Thinking of get a trio been watching your videos. You provide a lot of good info. Some of the best vid.s I seen very professional. Keep them coming

AWESOME video! Thanks for making it!

Biggest info in this is setting up temps before getting your ackie and ambient room temps being different in different areas. Feel like people really undervalue this! Great info dude.

Pretty good videos and info man. I'm gonna make a post on a facebook ackie fan page shortly with details on my enclosure build. It's a 4'x2'x5' (for 2-3 feet of substrate) that only costs $150 and can very easily be scaled up if you want more room for not much more money. It's all melamine and pine construction that's waterproof and can easily be built with just a circular saw and drill.

great video. Thank you.

This is very true. I have a pretty big enclosure I built for My ackie. I gotta do something different. Hottest ambient temperature on my hot side only gets to about 89 and my cooler side gets too 81. He's got two basking spots. One is at 125 on average and the other one only gets to 131. I definitely wanna get those a little warmer

Thanks really helped

Great vid!!!!!!!!

so im way to hot, its like 84/85 at day and 77 at night in the room temps, thx a lot it's help when ur kinda beginner for this species and u live where it snow and get under 8 celcius at night

I rigged my ackie viv with a proheat panel connected to a herpstat. Live in south Dakota and right now snowing almost in the negatives outside. The panels are good tho because they don't effect humidity at all.

I got a dimmer on mine so I will try to mimic sunset. I dont think its really doing anything though, cause 1 will forget and sleep outside til late. Usually they go hide to sleep.

I think about getting an Ackie. So i wanted to ask a quick question: Can I put the enclosure in my office (at home ) ? I spend a lot of time in there so it should get used to me fairly quickly. I also play PC in there. Enclosure would be directly behind my Back (0,5 m between my chair and the enclosure ) Could the lights and noise form me using TeamSpeak and Discord stress the Lizard ? The other possibility I have would the living Room. But that would also be right next to the TV (which would make even more noise) I also spend a lot more time in my office/gaming room/ man cave. 180x80x100 cm (5,9 x 2,6 x 3,2 feet) 200x80x120 cm (6,56 x 2,6 x 3,97 feet) Those are the two sizes I can easily get (more depth is not really possible due to space limitations) Are these good Sizes for One Ackie (Only One since if heard very mixed things about Cohab and don't have the space for a backup enclosure. Thx for your Videos. They help out allot since information about theses guys is a bit harder to find then for example bearded Dragons.

would you recommend an ackie as a beginner lizard? I have snakes and a tortoise but never kept a lizard.

Do you use a thermostat with your bulbs? This is my first lizard, I’ve only had snakes before this

This is stressing me out. Currently I am making a ackie viv, I'm doing constant research to make sure its done right but.. I don't understand how you control the temps. With my snakes and other lizards I obviously use dimmer stats but I can't find a thermostat that can go to 170f at max in the UK I can find 92f. So is it all about distance and wattage? or am I being silly and looking in the wrong places? Is there ones specifically designed for monitors? Because in the UK we have freezing winters and pretty hot summers. How do I make up the difference? Thanks to anyone who can give me some clarification

Will a floodlight like this work in a dome/clamp lamp fixture?

So you use flood lights and not an actual heat bulb? (Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm about to get my first ackie and i wanna make sure i don't make any mistakes with the heat)

Could you link this enclosure

Hey there, I know you said Par 38 flood light is it the halogenated ones?

Hi could you please answer this question what type of reptile basking lamp should I use to achieve like 140 to 160

I have a bearded dragon and I'm planning on getting a green anole and Tree Frog do you think ackie monitor is a good addition to my collection

I got a baby ackie and it doesn’t eat mil worms , it only wants crickets and I try roaches but it barely takes those any tips on how to get him eating more food items

How long can they go without food my Ackie monitor hasn't eaten in 3 days and I have offered her food

Hey i have i question i have new ackie for 12 day's now but it wont eat i tried different kinds of insects the temps are correct he has enough hides and i dont really know what to do , he also sleeps a lot like til 13:00 ( he is a 3 year old male and didn't have problems with eating before and looks healthy ) I couldn't find any thing about eating issues and would appreciatie if anyone may know a solution .
