Ultimate Ackie monitor care video! 

That's actually a good idea! I might make the livestream about that tomorrow! Thanks for the continued support :)

Thanks for the kind words man!

That's awesome! :) Good luck!

I mean that's the goal! Feel free to share it with fb

Thanks! I appreciate it :)

Thanks Dino!

Glad you enjoyed Terry!

Glad you enjoyed Kenny!

Thanks for watching!

I guess the simple answer to that is, UVB bulb! But yes at some point I will make an in depth crestie video!

Austin Lussier I’m excited for this video too!!

Oh you are the guy who bought the rough neck? That's sick! I loved that little dude!

Mike Tytula yeah man! He’s not so little anymore though! Probably 2 1/2 feet now.

Dude that's awesome!

That would be a great choice! They are a fantastic monitor!

Mike Tytula i have about 2 square meters to work with so its going to be a big tank😁

Thanks Jimbo! I appreciate it

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

Shoot me a message on my facebook, I have a list on another computer that I could send to you.

The size of enclosure depends on the frogs you want, I would recommend dendrobates leucomelas, dendrobates tinctorius or dendrobates auratus

Thanks! haha! Hopefully you stick around!

No just make sure that you have the tank setup with temps dialled in before you bring the animal home.

Thanks for watching!

That is a great idea man!

Thanks Megan glad you enjoyed!

@@MikeTytula I currently have a bearded dragon, chinese water dragon and 2 leopard geckos. I have had anoles and snakes and frogs etc. but my DREAM is to have an ackie! Also I watched the vid of losing stella and lemme tell you I felt your hurt. It tore me to shreds especially when I saw bowser was resting his head on her ass if he was mourning her passing almost like he was saying please come back 😭 I choked up hard core! No creature deserves less recognition than any other when losing them. I get just as devastated losing a fish as I do a reptile and so on. I just wanted you to know I relate and the heartless ones who don't shouldn't even matter.

Very well put Megan! I agree that was a really rough day for me...

I no longer have them anymore, but just look for them on Google scholar

Maybe next weekend!

Thanks! Glad you enjoy the channel

I let the temps drop.

It's heated in warm water but not fully cooked. Clean their cages are pretty easy, just like any other animal.

I feed like 10-15 crickets per feeding. Well good luck convincing him haha, and thank you very much for the support! I appreciate it :)

Mike Tytula And you supplement with calcium?

Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks New Cal I appreciate it :)

I mean it's kinda catchy haha

yes, that would be fine for a single adult. I would probably just build one since they are pretty easy to build!

Depends where you live, and depends how old the animal is.

It really depends how cold your room gets at night time.

hahaha that's insane!

That’s a crazy good deal! I have to order a baby red for 320$

MoonPie where did you get him from

Niksonfire 2007 the serpentarium, it’s a website. Idk if their still in stock but last I checked they were. It’s a good deal if you’re willing to pay 320$

Too small

Couple times a year

Temps drop down to the mid-low 70s

With proper research, and if you are okay paying the incredible pricetag, then sure!

They are incredible!

that's good

60% ish

haha that won't be happening! It was just last year because I wasn't able to do May madness, due to being in the jungle! But this year May madness should make its return!

Not likely that calm but they can be pretty relaxed. In my experience specifically males.

Ok I am interested in my first lizard and I am kinda stuck between the Ackie and a bearded dragon would you have any suggestions? I want something calm that I can just let sit on my shoulder but I also don’t want it to be a huge hassle to care for it either.

Well being that an ackie will cost you like 500$ I would probably go with the beardy

lol

I say it in the video man...

Tom Noddle For 1 adult ackie- 36×24×18 minimum. For 2 adult ackie- 48×24×24 minimum. Remember larger the better. Can you put 1 adult ackie in a 48×24×24? YES. Is it needed? No. 1 adult can live fine by themselves in a 36×24×18.

No, that is much to small. For one, I would say no smaller than 48x18x18

@@MikeTytula Thanks for the quick reply, ill get a new one then

Good idea and good luck!

Mike Tytula is a 36x18x18 ok for a juvenile

Isn't a 30x12x12 a 20 gallon? I keep smaller reptiles in those

haha what?

nope

lol

I don't feed any mice honestly.

You should probably give more of a variety in his diet (mealworms, crickets, other large insects and I think even quail eggs occasionally?) and all food except for rodents should be calcium dusted. Pinkies can be really fatty and not very nutritious so it's not good to keep them on just mice :)

hahah

Depends on the amount of UVB you are providing!

@@MikeTytula ok thanks alot

Cheers

Not as a staple diet

They get a similar length as a beardie but much more slender and active

@@MikeTytula Wow! That's awesome.

10-15 crickets!

@@MikeTytula Thanks so much! Im getting a pair of females on Monday with days of research that was the only piece of information I could not find for the life of me! Loved the video keep up the good work :)

I wouldn't keep females together tbh. I've seen some bad things happen because of it.

@@MikeTytula They are only a few weeks old right now, so keeping them together for a few weeks until I can get another enclosure built. I will keep an eye on them though. Thanks for the concern

ohhh gotcha! haha in that case things should be okay!

What?

lol I wish

DAmn right

Ya I was filming it far to late at night... otherwise he would have been with me for sure!

hahaha I cuss a ton outside the videos... just have to put a pretty face on for the internet!

what?

sup

I would argue that yes UVB is necessary, proper amounts of UVB radiation benefit all reptiles, even organisms that are crepuscular, or nocturnal are exposed to UVB radiation in small amounts.

I get that more than you'd expect haha

Ya 30 is low, but from most of the places I saw they said 45-50 never saw 60

Thanks for watching!

Glad someone agrees!

haha okay?

Think he might have had some gout.

lol you got me honestly!

hahah I mean no one will have probably fell for it! But you know!

What about it

@@MikeTytula thats right where the joke about dying is, so i commented the timestamp so people would click it. its a dumb joke lol

Care to fill me in on what was missed? Glad you enjoyed the video though :)

Sure Mike! And yea I did enjoy it, watched from beginning till the end even tho I know my way around ackie keeping :) Basically ackies are really hard to overfeed if you give them the right diet. What you stated right is they are mainly insectivores. What you can do is rotate different type of insects mixing high protein/fat - insects with high fiber ones. Fiber is going pretty much to waste so that is just a stomach filler and can be offered daily mixed with crickets or cockroaches. If ackies are kept with the right conditions they are really active. As you mentioned in the video they need a hot basking spot, ambient temperature should be a bit higher than you mentioned tho. Keeping the right temperature up will make your ackies go around and about all day long and they'll burn a lot of calories. If you stay away from chicken (that doesn't mean you can't give them just make it on occasions) your ackies will never get obese. If you want to give them meaty food give them baby mouse that will offer them a wide variety of nutrition. This knowledge is mainly from my own experience I have been collected through 5 years of keeping 4 ackie monitors. Hope you found this useful! :) Oh and congrats for your red ackie, he is a beauty! :)

Thanks for the input I appreciate the info for sure!

No worries! I can see you keep your ackie nice :) You can give him stuff to catch every day without worrying. He will be happier if he has some daily excitement :)

better luck nxt time

Better luck next time ;)

He lives in Canada. He, also, mentioned that he's had Bowser for 4 yrs

Aesyir Understood.

Canada has crazy prices.

nice

What?
