G'day all I have had two ackies for some time now. One has always been smaller, a worse feeder and very nervous. The other week it died, which is a real shame because I thought she was a female and was hoping to breed them, and she had been becoming more brave and feeding better. They are still...

Hi guys So it's been a couple of months now since we started decking out the tank and we've decided on getting an Ackie (after much deliberation, considering the enclosure, environment, etc.). Now comes the part of tracking one down... From what I can gather, ackies become available around...

Hey all, So I've been fairly intrigued by monitors and have been doing a fair bit of research on them. My main question is 'which monitor is best to keep?'. Now I've asked a fair few reptile places this but unfortunately each opinion contradicts the previous one. Most of the time they are bias...

Hi, This is not a negative attack directed at any member but more a curious question. Why do people get reptiles and then jump on forums and ask about husbandry requirements? I much prefer to see the posts where people have asked about keeping requirements because they are "thinking" about...
