I'll be getting an Ackie in August and have everything i need right now. I have 2 types of rocks from Universal Rocks and i was wondering what type of screwes you used for them and at what size. I bought expanding foam but thought it would be easier to use screws instead of having it pretty much permanent by doing the foam route. Great job on the enclosure!
Hi! I’m getting an ackies in 4-5 weeks and am currently doing some thorough research ~ May I ask: how often do you do a deep cleaning of the tank and/or replace the substrate mixture ?? Do you scoop their poop?
Hey I just got a 4 month old CB uro. What vitamins should i get and when can i switch the substrate (also what are some good lighting brands) sry for lot of questions lol
Do you still have morning geckos, have a 24×18×18 bio active tank with two bumblebee dart frogs and would like to 1 or 2 geckos with them and see how it goes. Have another tank if there's a problem
I am getting a ackie monitor as my first reptile pet and im just wanting to get all the basics and what size tank I should start off with. I read that I need to start with a 36×18 and then go to a 4×2×2 and eventually get a 6×3×3. If you have a video of all the basics can you let me know or if you don't could you please make one
Hi make very cool vid. I am going to get an Ackie for my Birthday. I am looking now for the price of the enclosure. So may I ask how much that cost you.
I think it really depends on who you talk to... I would say this is a minimum size for one adult, but obviously bigger is definitely better (assuming people are able to keep the temps where they need to be for the species in a larger enclosure).
Hi Mike. How's this substrate working for you? Would you change the percentage for better humidity retention, burrows, etc? Keep up the great videos. Love watching the builds!
Im loving this channel!!! So many great tips tricks!!! Love the vids!!!! I'm getting into my first dart frog/mourning gecko setup. Any tips you feel may not be out there already??? I'm going bioactive with a small waterfall feature.
Do you ever have issues with him trying to jump on the lights? I could see mine doing that so I'm nervous about trying a light set up that way but I know it would be better for him.
Vulcan tries to jump onto the lights but there’s not real anchor parts on the hot lights. The t5s I could careless if he hung out on top of one of the fixtures.
Hi, love your set up. Question, is cypress mulch a bad choice for ackies? Thank you for any input on this. As far as your set up what kind of sand do you recommend and also where do you buy dirt from?
@@MikeTytula thanks I have an ackie and he is exactly 12 inches and he was born October 2019. He has ample heat, humidity, substrate and he is in a 4 by 2 by 2. I feed him roaches dusted with calcium and vitamin powder. He also eats quails egg once every two weeks and a pinkie once a month. I also feed him crickets and various mealworms and superworms. (All dusted) what is wrong with my ackie?
I mean I can send you a couple amazon links, but honestly if you are considering the species you should be able to source your own materials for most of it..
I'm wanting to get a ackie monitor as my first reptile since I was a kid would you recommend it as a first reptile and do you think there is a difference between the red and yellow ackie. Thank you
@@MikeTytula I have been researching them for 2 months now and I'm getting all the stuff setup and made sure it's right before I even find a ackie to buy I dont want it to get here and me not be ready
Hiya Mike, your ackie looks great. How do you deal with their shedding. Ever since I got mine 3 weeks ago it always seems in a constant shed and therefore never looks his best. Any help would be greatly appreciated
