Monitors are great as pets , I've got a few ridges as pets and they are very active some of them handle quit good while others have a bit of temperament, feeding is the same as lets say bearded dragons except that monitors generally don't eat vegies or fruit they're meat eaters either insects or beef heart. housing 3 or 4 in a 4 by 2 by 2 foot tank with plenty of hiding and plenty of heat and UV......

I am about to get a species closely related to ackies . They make great pets and have awesome personallities. There basking spot has to be around 45 degrees C. I would give them a 10/10. also do a search on a search engine for 'ackies' and you will get lots of stuff
