What Happened To My Ackie Monitor?

[@WaysideArtist]

He's very beautiful. I love the sort of mosaic snowflake pattern across his back. His temporary enclosure is also lovely. I only have easy keeping crested and gargoyle geckos, so I always enjoy seeing your various reptiles. Thank you! Merry Christmas! 🎀🎄🎀

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed watching :)

[@lukesoren7688]

when I read the title I was so scared something bad happened!! Love these reptile updates, great footage! definetly a good idea to keep in the exo terra style tank!

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy these updates :)

[@geraldgreen7489]

Tim is lucky to have you. Your brain and instinct are spot on.

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

[@sarahbodo9592]

He’s so handsome

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you! He is 😊

[@carolshepherd6811]

Beautiful set up, beautiful ackie, beautiful you.

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you!

[@ZoesZoo]

I love Tim 🥺

[@reilly179]

OMGGG I love Tim please make more videos with him!!! He is so cute ahhhh

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you!! I’ll definitely try to feature him more 😊

[@williamparker8461]

I love monitor lizards. I'm happy that you're taking wonderful care of him. Good Video.

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you! I appreciate it :)

[@michaelbonj4090]

Tim bit is so cool I’d love to have an ackie one day

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

They’re an awesome species!

[@lewisclement41]

Great video. You obviously care a great deal about Tim. The current exo terra looks fantastic but really look forwards to seeing the new one.👍

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you very much!

Hi Emma cool ackie u have there tim's looking healthy, I have my couple of ackie in a 2m20L/55H/40D enclosure, They like to sprint sometimes so i really recoment a long enclosure, Also a nice tip Emma is if u would put red outback sand in there i believe its from exo terra and it looks GREAT and its perfect for ackies, Good luck!!

[@ScubaX29]

I love monitors mannerisms especially when they’re young or a smaller species. It’s like they’re constantly on fast forward. Lol

[@oreganojohnson5022]

I'm currently remodeling a display case for my Ackie!

[@caryboyd2181]

I bred my Ackies for a couple years. I have 4 now. My original breeding pair and two holb

[@superwhave2921]

Is it ok to put a baby ackie monitor in a adult enclosure ?

[@saoirsesigurardottir5105]

He so fast, it's like he on x games mode 🤣

[@paulgabelman7672]

I have a red ackie just got him he's a bay born last month. On his first night he spent the whole night under a rock buried is tht normal?

[@DylanMLH]

it’s crazy how reptile care changes in just 2 years. Tank minimum for these guys went from 4x2x2 to 4x2x4.

[@kingdomlamb7741]

Who said that?

[@pdv3526]

Ty for the info

[@RandomJill13]

[@Josie-6]

Tim runs almost as fast as I do when I see food.

[@puppiesarethebest4223]

What is the substrate that you are using

[@Hinkelberg]

How long would you say a 40 gallon, like a zoomed front opening one, would last an ackie if they were in that younger 3-4 months old age ? Where did you acquire him ?

[@snickersandoreo314]

Why did I read the title as what happened to my ankle monitor .🤣🤣😂😂

[@jeremiah2048]

Where is a good place to buy an ackie monitor?? Thanks in advance

[@langenandanimals]

Hes a beauty

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you!

[@finndrennan541]

Are ackie monitors good for beginners and also how big do they get and what size enclosure do they need

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

I would consider Ackie Monitors to be an intermediate/experienced species personally. As far as monitors go, they’re one of the best for new keepers but their care is still a little challenging. 4x2x2 enclosures are considered the minimum but bigger is better. 6 foot ones are great. They get to be about 2 feet long head to tail

[@finndrennan541]

Emma Lynne Sampson Thanks. Is there care kind of like bearded dragons care

[@nyleved7988]

Can you make a video of all of your current enclosures. Would like to see all of them before their upgrades. Also are planning to get another pet that would be more appropriate to house in Tim’s supposedly enclosure?

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

I’ll be doing a full reptile room tour soon which will show all of my enclosures! And no, no plans for that enclosure

[@hunteradams732]

Sorry this is off topic but im getting my first crested gecko. Does the night temperature need to vary from day or does it need to stay constant?

[@luvlost03]

Naturally Temps drop at night

[@tonikeating515]

I have a yellow ackie monitor mine is 21 inches

[@radu9380]

So cuteee

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you!

[@MotherOfWednesday]

I love him! I love how you think so critically about their husbandry and change it when you have doubts. What do you think about cohabitation with Ackie monitors?

[@justinprewitt245]

What kind of sand and soil mixture did you use?

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

It’s just play sand and organic soil! About 70% sand and 30% soil

[@justinprewitt245]

@@EmmaLynneSampson awesome thank you

[@guineapignation4416]

I know this is totally off-topic from this video but in the future would you ever think of getting guinea pigs?!?

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

No, I have no interest in owning guinea pigs

[@brakny8485]

Fun fact: the people who comment first second or third have not watched the full video :)

[@edenyang5186]

👍👍👍

[@jamiewalton6982]

True but after commenting that they hopefully would watch the whole video or Aleast I do 😂

[@ZombiePeachez]

Im so jealous rn

[@lrgaming9879]

He is so cute, I’m asking for one for Christmas

[@niya5212]

Do more videos with Lex! 💕💕

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

I’ll definitely do one soon!

[@caryboyd2181]

Check out Cary Boyd Ackies on KZbin. I'm not trying to tell people what to do. They are just vids of me playing

[@tinahaynes175]

hey if you don't feel safe, scrap it and move on. His safety and your piece of mind are all that matter. That's it.

[@ChantalsCritters]

Glad he's doing well. Wow he moves fast for the worms eh.

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Thank you! And yes, they’re really fast!

[@Fettywap_remyboyz1738]

Can you give me tips

[@LukeTeel]

Give me an hour with that box and I’d have it on point.

[@markdavidchapman2866]

Kurt Affair?

[@anthonymcinnis8352]

Peanut butter and jealous

[@Fettywap_remyboyz1738]

Emma my bearde dragon does not want to grow and is 1 year old

[@EmmaLynneSampson]

Have you made sure your care is correct? If your care is correct and they’re not growing, then I would visit a vet.
