ACKIE MONITOR CARE VIDEO!

[@reppysreptiles3314]

Stella and Bowser are amazingly cool.

[@100Predator]

They looks so awesome as adults :D My Korra is just a few months old ( born in August 2015) But she acts just like an adult :D Maybe she is more skittish but i supose thats normal for such a small lizard :) But she always runs towards the glass when i enter the room waiting for food :)

[@theregalreptile3953]

What a wonderful video! They look like they have little flowers on them!

[@MikeTytula]

That is true!

[@user-zv7gc7dw6p]

I just want to say that your videos have been very helpful and thank you. I got a month old veiled chameleon about two weeks ago and a baby tortoise last Monday. Your advice and tips have helped us a lot and definitely have made it an easier process. Keep doing what you do!

[@MikeTytula]

+sweetie cakess Thanks man I'm glad they helped with something. :)

[@among-us-99999]

Am i the only one who watches these videos just for the ackie footage? also, stella

[@MikeTytula]

Considering how old this video is, maybe! But glad you enjoyed

[@among-us-99999]

There is just not enough footage of ackies on KZbin (wink wink)

[@MikeTytula]

Agreed! There isn't much

[@amandamammana]

Awesome video man:)!! I've always wanted one but my mom won't let me I'll have to keep working on her

[@MikeTytula]

+Reptile101 some day :)

[@tacystewart9108]

Loved watching Stella eating. Wish I had one too.

[@MikeTytula]

They are fantastic!

[@hydraz1443]

Has anyone else noticed that he sounds like the person from How to train your dragon? (No offence intended)

[@eddieperez8432]

he does lol dope

[@peterPan-et1yj]

Hydraz good call he definitely does

[@lunatheleopardgecko8097]

Hydraz HOLY SHIT I JUST REALISED THAT!!!!

[@blacklake7545]

yes

[@zonester_exe9142]

What one

[@Furfeatherandclaw]

Nice mix of care and fun, Stella ;)

[@MartinsMiniMonsters]

Very usefull video! Thank you! :) These animals, along with 18 other reptile species, will become legal to keep here in Norway august 15th 2017 :) This video was a great place to start researching ;) Btw: Stella ;)

[@MikeTytula]

Wicked! good luck!

[@M0tschekiebchen]

Stella, thank you very much for the information you gave about feeding them. I never knew how much calcium i could give them.

[@MikeTytula]

No problem!

[@daravince913]

"STELLA" is looking a lot better in her new cage

[@MikeTytula]

+Dara Vince She is indeed :)

[@tacystewart9108]

Loved the video. Stella

[@MikeTytula]

Thanks for watching!

[@izzyvally5069]

I was actually thinking about getting an ackie monitor so this was a very helpful video:) !!!!

[@MikeTytula]

+izzy vally Right on! I'm glad it helped :)

[@CrazyViper100]

Stella very nice video I would love to get my self a few one day but they are hard to find an when ever I see one so SOO over priced its nuts maybe one day lol great video as always looking forward to the next one

[@MikeTytula]

+CrazyViper100 Thanks for the nice comment! They are just not very cheap reptiles in general

[@semog345]

Stella has a pretty happy life!

[@MikeTytula]

+Daniel Gomes She's a good girl :)

[@fromalanddownunda2812]

Stella. Thanks for the info.

[@MikeTytula]

Thanks for watching!

[@jennymartinez4035]

I like 👍🏻 most of your videos 😀your welcome

[@danialgibson5612]

Stella, great video mate

[@andone01red]

Awesome vid, and Stella. :)

[@MikeTytula]

+andone01red Thanks man!

[@austinburton9247]

Great vid man, I might have to look into getting one of those awesome monitor lizards!

[@MikeTytula]

+Austin Burton Right on they aren't cheap but they are amazing!

[@rdotjdot12.3.]

3:33 I believe he's referring to Retes stacks

[@robbiemaxwell3247]

Could you make more videos about ur chams👍Just a suggestion keep the videos coming

[@JordenGaming]

Great video!

[@MikeTytula]

+JordenGaming Thanks man!

[@tomasnichols5979]

What size terrarium should a baby or juvenile be in?

[@MikeTytula]

+Tomas Nichols 30 gallon or 40 gallon

[@alexcrowder1673]

You could just get a 70 gallon adult setup right off the bat, but like he said smaller is fine until it gets bigger. I just prefer putting them in the adult enclosure right away to save money in the long run. Monitors generally don't seem to get stressed out in oversized enclosures like some other reptiles do, so theres no real downside.

[@mitchelll899]

@@alexcrowder1673 other benefit to a 40+ is the exercise if they don't want to be held to give them more space than they need with tons of cork pieces incase of climbing objects falling over. 1ft of cork round is about 3/4ths a pound so no different than another one of their kind tackling them for dominant play.

[@alexsupercross2155]

Stella is so cute !! and setlla

[@joesdragonsnyc7704]

I should be getting my first Ackie within the. Ext month or two. I can't wait

[@MikeTytula]

+JoesDragonsNYC That's awesome! :)

[@zonester_exe9142]

9:20 that piece of wood looks like a monitor or an iguana

[@MikeTytula]

Ya it totally does

[@CritterLizard]

Stella's very pretty. ;)

[@thechameleonkeeper0577]

Hey! Nice video glad Stella is doing well and a lot better! I recently got a veiled chameleon like 3 days ago and he is doing very well. Not sure if he or she, I see faint spurs but that's it. When will the dart frogs come? Stella

[@MikeTytula]

+TheChameleonKeeper05 Right on man! and spurs mean male.

[@thechameleonkeeper0577]

Haha now I'm an actual chameleon keeper😆

[@MikeTytula]

TheChameleonKeeper05 That's good too hear :)

[@peridot5539]

Stella is very Stella'r';)

[@Scales13]

Dude I'm thinking about getting a ackie monitors this would be my first monitor I've heard there a good start

[@MikeTytula]

They are a good start!

[@morganking5350]

Stella(: ahh, when are you announcing your new addition?!

[@MikeTytula]

+Morgan King very soon :)

[@purpleflamingo1112]

awesome video!!!!

[@MikeTytula]

+Purple Flamingo Thanks man!

[@jamesmurphy5014]

Thank you I have been looking forward for the vid

[@MikeTytula]

+James MURPHY No problem! I hope it helped!

[@jobpantaleon4091]

stella lol watching in 2019

[@MikeTytula]

Nice

[@austinhelms1100]

You should make a video how to build this enclosure

[@MikeTytula]

Next time I build one I will do my best to capture it on film

[@Flipout1991]

Stella Good video man

[@nokia3416]

Yeah I did

[@sennseo0077]

stella, also very nice vid, getting mine at tuesday :) keep it up man!!

[@MikeTytula]

+Senne De Marie Right on! I hope you enjoy their beauty!

[@sennseo0077]

thanks man :D you're videos are awesome

[@MikeTytula]

Senne De Marie Thank you!

[@Gecko_Kaiju]

I know that the Basking spot needs to be between 120 to 130 degrees Farenheit but what about the traditional light in general besides the Basking spot how hot does the enclosure need to be because I'm trying to do enough research to actually start saving the money for an enclosure and I want to make sure I get both the right bulbs for the right amount of heat

[@MikeTytula]

Between 80-90 I would say.

[@jojor4283]

Cool

[@leereptiles2150]

for your there cages how did u guys build in the light fixtures and put the screen cover over them to get to the light bulb?

[@MikeTytula]

+Lee Reptiles They have little latches on the side that hold it up, and it's just chicken wire!

[@jacksonsalisbury9472]

What type of gravel do you use? If its a mix is it white sand or red sand?

[@rex90pawprint]

Ok, so, I'm curious, I have an enormous bearded dragon (almost 2 feet long) who is around seven years old. He never bites or shows signs of aggression and is chill with other lizards. We are planning to buy/ build him a huge viv at some point (at least 4'x3'x3') and have also been considering getting an ackie. My question is, would they be able to go in the same viv if it was big enough?

[@MikeTytula]

NO! They are completely different organisms ackies need a much hotter basking spot. And will likely out compete the beardie. Mixing species in general is just not recommended.

[@malykisutherland9361]

sweet vid !

[@ethanhughes75]

Stella. Ackies kind of remind me of those super smart raptor from Jurassic world. Also how long did it take you to convince your parents to let you get one and was it hard. P.S what are good websites to get them from in Canada

[@MikeTytula]

+Ethan Hughes All monitors are very intelligent. I would get them from canadian coldblood or when I hopefully get some me haha. As for convincing I am ruthless haha

[@jennymartinez4035]

I seen all of your videos

[@MikeTytula]

+Jenny Martinez Thanks buddy!

[@chrisscreatures1765]

Stella !

[@MikeTytula]

Thanks for watching!

[@Roadietodamascus]

love ur vids, I subbed

[@JuniorMason]

stella. I wish I could get these were I live, but even if you could feeding them would be a challenge because the pet stores here don't carry a supply of crickets and roaches(or any insect )

[@MikeTytula]

+JuniorMason Wow where do you live that petstore don't??

[@JuniorMason]

+Mike Tytula I live in the Caribbean, Barbados to be exact. The most common reptiles our pet stores have are the red foot tortoise(if you are lucky you might find one roaming around outside since they are some in the wild......I think they are native), red ear sliders and on a rare occasion you may find an iguana.

[@MikeTytula]

JuniorMason They aren't native haha. And wow that's crazy!

[@JuniorMason]

Mike Tytula lol fair enough I wasn't sure, I just know that you can find some roaming around the island. But yup that's how it is here. So I really do envy you guys that get to have such cool pets(monitors/komodo dragons being my favorite lizard)

[@MikeTytula]

JuniorMason Ya that would kill me not having any of these amazing creatures.

[@LeviHazzard]

are meal worms ok instead of crickets?

[@michaelscreativecreations]

Very nice Bro!! Stella........how things going?

[@MikeTytula]

+MichaelsCreativeCreations Things are very good! Super busy with work, girlfriend, and friends but school starts again soon :( You??

[@liamhandi1266]

how many crickets do you feed them

[@TheGamingPro5555]

What cage is Stella in? Is that a 4x2x2?

[@cccrit]

at 0:48 where did you get that miniature tree thing on the right? It looks awesome

[@MikeTytula]

Petsmart? I think!

[@austinburton9247]

Stella

[@animalisticores5713]

Do you feed adults everyday? I know babies eat everyday which is fine but wondering how often adults eat out the week? thanks

[@MikeTytula]

I typically don't the ackie I have now gets fed once or twice a week.

[@ivanlopez7948]

Where did u get the cages from?

[@MikeTytula]

The wooden ones? I had them custom made for me.

[@amazingaquaticsandexotics3030]

nice

[@MikeTytula]

Thanks for watching!

[@gorgonenonya8205]

I have one ackie I think it's a yellow, but wanted to get another for it, but was not sure? I'm worried they might harm one another? what should I do?

[@MikeTytula]

If you get another one make sure you have enough space to house them separately if there was ever an issue with aggression or anything like that.

[@jordanjrk9015]

Love your videos!How hard are ackies to keep?

[@MikeTytula]

Not that hard honestly.

[@ditdot2956]

What plants should I grow for my red eyed croc skinks they like high humidty

[@MikeTytula]

+dit dot REd nerve plants and other dart frog plants should be fine

[@jennymartinez4035]

Can you make more chameleon video please . I am going to get a chameleon and I like your advise

[@MikeTytula]

+Jenny Martinez Advise on what? And I make plenty of chameleon video if you look at my channel :)

[@animalisticores5713]

You say lay box so I’m assuming you breed them? Any advice on how to breed them?

[@MikeTytula]

I actually haven't bred them, that was incase the female laid but unfortunately she passed away a couple years ago

[@daygecko185]

Did you find out what's on Stella's tail it could be a healed burn

[@MikeTytula]

+Daygecko1 No I didn't and no I don't think it's a burn

[@Hertz2pp]

Stella. So then what is a good size enclosure for just a single ackie?

[@MikeTytula]

4x2x2

[@reptiles4u210]

Do you have to keep them in pairs?

[@muhammadkane9958]

How often do u feed them

[@ddteal]

stella!

[@reptileguy8458]

Is a 4×2×2 ( L×H×W) good size even for a full grown ackie? Or will they require a larger enclosure?

[@MikeTytula]

That is a good size

[@mathiaspriegnitz8009]

Hi nice Video Bro :) good information thumbs up Love Stella she´s Great :)

[@MikeTytula]

+mathias priegnitz Thanks man! Always good to see you stick around :)

[@mathiaspriegnitz8009]

Brothers in arms are brothers for life :D ;)

[@MikeTytula]

mathias priegnitz Thanks man! I appreciate it!

[@batteredbronco1670]

wow i live in australia and never knew they were from australia

[@batteredbronco1670]

+battered bronco stella

[@MikeTytula]

+battered bronco They are indeed!

[@RyanW007]

How many crickets a day for baby and adult. Stella

[@MikeTytula]

Baby 15-20 adults every other day 10-15

[@oscarzapata7327]

stella grate video .love ackie monitors

[@MikeTytula]

+Oscar Zapata I do as well :)

[@oscarzapata7327]

yeah all monitors are cool I like water monitors and savannas

[@MikeTytula]

Oscar Zapata Both of those are awesome :)

[@oscarzapata7327]

yep I have 2 savannas.one adult and a small babylove them so much

[@MikeTytula]

Oscar Zapata Right on they are very cute little guys!

[@Roadietodamascus]

did u make your cage? and if so could u do a video on how u did and what u used, or if u bought it can u just tell me were please

[@MikeTytula]

+dom_person113 You can make them fairly easily if I build another one I will make a video about it. But I mean it's pretty self explanitory haha

[@Roadietodamascus]

well mostly Im talking about the eclectrical stuff with the light fixtures and the heating light and a little on how u made the sliding door.... so pretty much every thing but the actual walls, which is like three pieces of wood... im also 14 though so I don't know much about building this stuff and what would to use if there is some wood I shouldn't be using

[@demetrissmith8973]

Can you make a breeding video of a layout box for your ackie Monitor's

[@MikeTytula]

When I breed them sure

[@demetrissmith8973]

Thanks

[@ariannadurgerian7995]

Just a quick question, I’m looking to get a baby ackie monitor soon and was wondering if I should get two? They’re currently about 2 months old and have been together since birth. Would it be better to get one or two, any worry about being too territorial ?

[@MikeTytula]

I would recommend just getting one. Especially if it is your first time owning them.

[@hunterevans135]

How big of an enclosure is needed for one adult

[@MikeTytula]

+Hunter Evans Minimum the size that I have

[@peaceful4you408]

You gotta feed the insects everyday? Wow, that can get extremely expensive afterwhile. I was thinking about getting one but they seem high maintenance. Ill just stick to my ridiculously low maintenance ball python. They only eat rats/mice once week.

[@MikeTytula]

I only feed them every couple of days now.

[@reptileenthusiast4466]

Is it ok to keep to males in a cage together because I don't want any eggs

[@MikeTytula]

No. Only get one if that is the case

[@silverbison88]

thanks good information. Were did you get you Ackie's?

[@MikeTytula]

Canadian coldblood

[@dr.hartman5661]

How big in centimetres does there terrarium have to be

[@MikeTytula]

I'll give it to you in feet, 4 long 2 deep 2 tall. You can covert if you like

[@ChezzOnBass]

Hi Stella!

[@Christian-cq5ne]

75 gallon big enough?

[@reptileenthusiast4466]

How big would there cage be if you keep one by itself Very sorry for asking all these questions

[@Katie-do2rf]

Reptile Enthusiast i would guess about the same but you shouldn't keep them by themselves

[@unroem9912]

You mentioned a cage size for a pair, but what is minimum for one adult?

[@MikeTytula]

Same size as the pair

[@SuperHappyEnderman]

Is 75g enough?

[@jessepicken1662]

I know this is an old video but i love the videos on bowser lol

[@MikeTytula]

Well I guess I was late replying as well! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@jaydavis4818]

Where can I buy yellow or red ackies preferably yellow.

[@MikeTytula]

Depends where you live!

[@matts1747]

hay mate how did you get them so tame bowser just wants to come and chill how did you do it

[@MikeTytula]

Just socialize with him frequently!

[@matts1747]

what do you mean socialize exactly. i have a baby and he runs as soon as i open the tank i cant even get near him i tryed putting food on my hand but he still wont touch it

[@julius8795]

How many crickets do you feed them each day?

[@MikeTytula]

10-15 ish

[@BaraPersson]

Ackie monitor vs Bearded dragon? Pros and cons with both -

[@BaraPersson]

Stella :)

[@jordancompton6962]

+BaraPersson Bearded dragons PROS- Almost always docile -Much slower then ackies -Commercial diets are readily available -Do not need deep substrate CONS-Are not very "exotic" -Are not very active -Are not as smart as ackies Ackies PROS-Very active -Always entertaining -Will develop a "bond" with the owner -Can become very docile CONS-Some ackies bite... and it hurts... bad -No commercial diet -Can be skittish

[@alexcrowder1673]

+Jordan Compton Very well said. Most people get butthurt when you tell them monitors are smarter than their beloved beardies. Once you've ownd a monitor though the intelligence is very noticeable. It's almost catlike intelligence. Maybe its just because my nile lives with housecats but I feel like they act similarly too. Sometimes they give you attention, and sometimes they could care less that you even exist lol.

[@MaliciousMollusc]

it's actually true though.. you don't see Beardies scavenging after humans unlike Monitors..

[@kagiza4003]

TheSchmeister Ackies can't scavenge on humans

[@reptiles4u210]

Where do you recommend doing more research

[@MikeTytula]

All over the internet!

[@ohdearinpubs417]

Wait I just found it

[@User63139]

Do you think a 6ft 125 gal tank would be okau

[@User63139]

okay

[@MikeTytula]

yes

[@User63139]

Mike Tytula alright thank you

[@User63139]

Mike Tytula Is 13 1/2 inches wide enough

[@thebandochannel]

I hope STELLA has been doing well!

[@MikeTytula]

+Bando Kim (TheBandoChannel) She has been!

[@thebandochannel]

That's great to know!

[@MikeTytula]

[@cortus8046]

Are these fully grown? How big do they get?

[@MikeTytula]

These are fully grown.

[@adamk5459]

[@frigid123ful]

Could you do a pacman frog one

[@MikeTytula]

+frigid123ful Hopefully I will my buddy has a couple so I would be able to get footage as well
