that is so fricken cute!
how big do these fellas grow? I've been interested in monitors for ages, but just don't think I've got the room. Would imagine they're fairly active and need a fairly big space

I have him on damp paper towels at the moment with shallow water bowls. Luckily I am on leave from work at the moment so able to spray him and the enclosure a few times a day too...
How long should I keep up the humidity?

Would imagine they're fairly active and need a fairly big space | McScribbles - They grow to about 60cm (max.) and females generally a bit smaller. Two thirds of that length is tail...I keep my adult pair in a 5x2x2 tank...I certainly wouldn't go smaller than 4x2x2, and the larger the better...
Monitors are very active and it's good to have some space for them to run around...

that's what i figured (about them being active) but definitely a managable size. Thanks for the info and congrats on your new Ackie

I have a smallish form of ackie, only growing to about 40cm TL.
They are fine in a 4x2, although I have mine in a 6'x18" currently and would love to move them outside.

I think evenually they will go down there - just so active and want more room for them...
