Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
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.

Akie, Timor, or Green Tree Monitor
Hello All!
Thanks for stopping by my post! I am trying to find out which monitor would be the best for me. I do not want a huge reptile so tegus and savys are out of the question but i did find these! I want a monitor that i can hold, that is active, and that is relitively easy to tame. Taming isn't a big issue because i love to interact with my lizards so taking them out for a half hour every day is nothing. If you have any recomendations or maybe you want to make a pros & cons list to help me decide, it is all welcome.
Thank you!
Bryce

Best starter monitor out there, I'd love to have a 1.1 pair...

They are pretty sweet. The down side to ackies are that they are pretty hard to get as babies aside from ProExotics lol

If you want something you can hold then go with Ackies. Timors are more skiddish and Green Trees should just be considered a display animal.

I agree 100% with this, otherwise get a bearded dragon.

I agree. Although i have seen some green trees that have been tamed very well and love to come out and socialize  I really want an ackie but they are hard to get lol
And i do not want a beardie lol I've never seen an active beardie once they are adults...they just bask. My main reason is that i just want a monitor though! haha and really an ackie is pretty similar to a beardie in some ways
Thanks for you oppinions guys!

I have 2 female Yellow Ackies and I absolutely love them! I rarely ever hold them but because I've built up a good trust with them, if I do take them out they are very chill about it.
I'm in the market for a nice male so when I do I will have babies in the future. Stay tune.

That'd be awesome! I had an offer from a guy named hummi22689 on a "red male yearling" for 175 so if your looking for a male you should go talk to him! I would've bought from him but i want a hatchling so that i can start taming asap and i want to experience them from a baby Btw your ackies look amazing! could you post some more pics of your ackies and their setup? That would be great

I did see that Red for sale and that was a good deal but I really don't want to mix the subspecies. But first things first I want to build my new enclosure, then I'll pick up a male. At the moment my 2 females are in a 50 gallon breeder. I made the background from foam insulation, Great Stuff and tile grout.
Here's comical a video of them eating hornworms.

I like how they are together in all the pics! are they always together? I've heard that if you keep a couple of them together they are very interesting to watch! SO, that being said i'm going to get two atleast when i do get them.
