Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

im used to houseing savs but i love ackies. there a smaller speicies so there easier to house and take care of. and they are very calm if you tame and treat it right.(well the ones i held where very tame) not sure about the rest. but i would have to say ackies are the best.
I just have my Nile. She's four years old this month. I raised her from a hatchling. I would like to try my hand with Freckels one day and maybe.......don't stop dreaming!....dare I say it.....a Lacie....and make it a Bell!
Well, I had a Varanus salvator. Kali. She looked unlike any other water monitor I've ever seen. She was predominantly sunflower yellow with the rosette patterns in black/dark brown. Her belly and neck were pink and a very pale blue.
Kali had been advertised as a "free iguana" in a newpaper ad. My son's father went and got her. Very soon he realized that he was in over his head so he offered her to me.
Kali lived in my bathroom. I had a small dog crate with her heating pad in there. When she couldn't be supervised I just kept the bathroom door closed. Every day when she woke up she'd go into the bathtub. I'd turn the shower on for her. After she pooped I would fill the tub. Man she loved that tub of water. After her soak she would head out onto the sunporch to lounge on her branches and watch the neighborhood. Kids would come by and look at her and bring their friends and family.
Kali was not a biter. She tolerated being touched, even liked to have her neck scratched. I would brush her when she was shedding to help get the skin off. She loved it. She would splay out her legs and just lie there. She could be vicious with her tail though. Whacked me good one time on the temple. I thought I was going to pass out.
She would go after feet in white socks because she thought they were white mice. Caused some dancing around my house!
I took Kali into the schools for educational talks and because the kids could touch her. She was big and impressive. Sadly, Kali died last spring. And, quite frankly I have been so grief stricken that I haven't talked about her much with anyone. We miss her.
I have only ever owned 1 monitor which was a mangrove. I like those, ackies, and the argus monitors. However, I didn't like my mangrove's intelligence and ability to escape from it's cage, and from it's travel carrier into the dashboard of my car. It took a couple of days to catch him while he was sunning near the back windshield.
Young male flaviargus, around 4ft and about 1.5 years old.
My newest aquisition, was given to me a few weeks ago, male blackthroat, missing alot of tail, should be 4ft or more.

Red Ackie parents..
