hey, im interested in getting some ackies, and i just wanted to get a bit more info on them.
i really like the patterns and colours of the W.A red form, Varanus Acanthurus Acanthurus.
how much would a young one of these cost compared to the yellow form?
what is the best method of housing them? pics would be great.
cheers chris  |

Mark Wiltshire has some for sale in Melbourne, they are on Petlink and were listed yesterday. He is asking $250 each. I bought three from him 2 months ago and highly recommend him. He airfreighted them to Sydney for me and they arrived in perfect condition. I am in the process of organising another import licence as I am buying two more from him. They are very good looking WA Sandfire Ackies.
Hope this helps,
Paul.

Here are some recent photos to let you see what I bought from Mark Wiltshire. They will give you an idea of what to expect. I am sure he will have photos of his own if you request them.

A good specimen can go up to $500. True sandfires can be hard to get. A lot of people will just say they are to make a sale. Viewing of the parents helps a lot.  |

By the same token, you can get some very nice red ackies for a lot less simply because they are not "Sandfires".
Here's a pic of one of mine, the babies sold recently for $125 each, NOT Sandfire ackies though.

Glad to see you bred yours mags, good on you. Cool little critters aren't they.
I have Mt Isa ackies and think they are one of the nicest forms around.........no, it's not a biased opinion. Will have to get some more pics of him and post them up. He s a stunning yellow and almost purple colour. I few people were quite amazed at his colouration when I removed him from his cage at the show and I managed to add another 2 people on to the waiting list for hatchies next year.
Cheers
Daz
