Hoped the video helped!

Thank you Es!

Also depends on where you live as laws regarding size of enclosure will wary (here it's measured by cm and they belong to different size categories), aside from the price of the lizard itself

Great video. What a great looking enclosure.

Helpful video! I’d love to hear your experiences with differences in personality and handling. ♥️🦖

Very cool video. It is good to know this information before the animal is bought. Not looking to buy either type for some time but still good to know.

I would love a Croc Monitor or Asian Water Monitor one day but, as you said, I need the space. I would only get one to if I could do year-round outdoor enclosures.

Btw this is a very well structured video, currently at the feeding part I love you you go back and forth

I guess I could do that. Let me think on it

Me in Australia only being able to keep the ackie: hmm I wonder

I live in Florida and the only store I’ve seen an ackie at was $500 and looked like there were mired in the enclosure

Try expos and do a ton of searching online

Just buy grow tents for enclosures. They retain humidity extremely well, and are fairly cheap.

Grow tents are great. I like what I went with for my Tegu still. But nothing wrong with going with a grow tent.

Verry detailed I just got a Argentine tegu and have him in my closet my whole closet lol but now I see that I will deff have to dish out about 600 just for a animal plastics cuz he is my baby he looks like he is going down for brumation at 6 months old only is that normal?verry detailed thanks bro bye!!!

Yeah you definitely want to move him into a proper enclosure. It is very hard to take care of a Tegu without one. My Tegu went down for brumation within the first couple months of owning him. Completely normal.

I'd prefer a tegu, but I hate that they can drop their tails. I'd actually prefer a black throated monitor, but I don't have the space. I also would rather have an animal that eats vertebrates. I hate having to keep insects that inevitably escape and end up all over your house.

Tegu's don't drop their tail that often but yes they can. I don't mind keeping inverts, never had an issue with an escapee. Dubias are super easy to keep also.

Really enjoyed the video I hope you can help me out the light fixture that you have for your Ackies that’s hanging who made them the one that you have for your basking

Sorry for the delay! Super busy starting up classes again! Hearts are more nutritious. Livers are fine but can be fatty so I would limit the livers and focus on hearts if you can.

I think you misunderstood the point I was making. First, my personal goal would be to give my Ackies a bigger enclosure. Not saying everyone needs too. Also, while I am not saying everyone needs to give their Ackies a 8 foot enclosure, I think Ackies would utilize the space just as much as a Tegu. The size of the reptile is not everything. Lastly, a Tegu should have a bigger space than a 8'x4'x4' anyway as an adult.
