Ackies monitor
ONLY AT SANCTUARY
Click to read about sanctuary visits
Ackie Monitors, also known as spiny-tailed Monitors, originate from the arid, woodland and scrub habitats of Australia. They are a relatively large lizard and highly intelligent so can take a lot to keep in terms of space and enrichment, but do make a great pet for someone who has the time to spend and facilities to house.
Being diurnal, and very inquisitive, you are likely to see them out and about during the day, engaging with every aspect of their environment and seeking a new challenge. These monitors can tame down with time but may prove a handful when it comes to keeping still!
We do have an ackies monitor lizard but he can only be met currently at the sanctuary.
