Im Cary King of Ackanthuria. I breed Varanus acanthutus. Currently I have 4 Ackies currently. My original breeding pair and two holdbacks. Looks like you did a good job. I have my Ackies as tame as they get. Which is pretty tame. Mine will crawl up my pants leg and nap in my underwear. No kidding you cant make this stuff up. Ackies are great because they average 20 inches, and can be kept in a 100 gal tank. I had never kept Monitors before I got my first Ackie. I have however kept all kinds of other reptiles including venomous. Monitors were a real learning process. They are in a class all their own, and after 4 years Im still learning new things. I have heard that Savannah Monitors eat allot of insects even as adults. Ackies for sure eat lots of roaches, locusts, and crickets. They are little hunters however and smaller lizards are their flavorite prey. They will however eat most anything they can overpower and swallow. My guys while eating other lizards readilly will not eat mice or pinkies. They will however eat guppies out of their water dish. The main problem people have with Savannah monitors is they dont have a big enough cage/aquarium. Also they cant furnish the proper diet. Houdini seems to be in great health, and his size is good to. Let me guess. You named him Houdini because of his uncanny ability to escape. I call my Male Ackie

She looks great! They definitely can go long amounts of time w.o eating, but my monitor doesn't like not being fed also! You can look at the base of her tail where the fat is stored they can go over 8 months with out eating if the female tail is about 3 inches around at its base. They will slim down but thats ok. Nice video! glad to see someone else have a healthy monitor!

Great content, I've subbed 👌🏻

Very goodjob great video

Great video!

I have a savanna monitor, baby who ate everything, now he does not want to eat me or eat little I was giving him crickets very well then I gave him a little finger and from there he did not want to eat much I do not know what happens

hi i love them i got 3 i am in the uk

Nice video!

eres como un sueño humedo 😍

They can be really sweet and loving and I had a baby savanna monitor lizard lick my nose nose at a reptile expo

I thought they were usual like 4 feet

I am confused Do they come in different morph or what ?? I have seen Savannah on Clint's channel which is light in colour almost a creamy colour ??

Lol 😂 my brother is getting a savanna monitor 😂

I am watching this as I am driving home 300km with my savannah monitor. She is banging her head against the Styrofoam lid of the box I am transporting her in (don't worry it has air holes) let's hope she doesn't dig through the towel and the box she is 60cm and not tame at all. Previous owner made no attempt to tame her down over 8 years so I got a lot of work infront of me

Great. Very healthy 👍🏼🤗 nice vid! However looks like a male.
