Looking for a unique and visually striking reptile pet? Consider the Red Ackie Monitor! These lizards are native to Australia and are known for their bright red and orange coloring and active, curious personalities. They can grow up to 3 feet in length and require a spacious enclosure to thrive.

When caring for your Red Ackie Monitor, it is essential to provide a suitable habitat that includes both a hot and a cool side, with temperatures ranging from 95-110 degrees Fahrenheit on the hot side and 75-80 degrees on the cool side. In terms of diet, Red Ackie Monitors are carnivorous and should be fed a varied diet of insects, such as crickets and roaches, as well as the occasional pinky mouse. These lizards also require high humidity, so they regularly mist their enclosure.

Your Red Ackie Monitor can be a rewarding and long-lived pet with proper care. In addition to their physical needs, it is essential to provide your Red Ackie Monitor with mental and social stimulation. This can include creating spots and climbing structures within their enclosure and interacting with them through gentle handling and training.
