well i was thinking of gettin a couple "reptiles" i've had all kinds of stuff from snakes to lizards i was thinking of eathier getting a pair/trio of crested geckos or an ackie...i really like both and have only had a crested out of the two but not sure what to get..any suggestions from some people with experience
 
I know you said people with "EXPERIENCE" but I've read up on ackies for a couple of years now, and have had a couple of cresteds. What are you looking for in the new reptile?
 
see im not sure what i want right now..i like how small calm and easy to handle cresteds are but then again i want a small monitor too. espically one thats got good colors like red ackies. also open to other suggestions also looking into gettin another male ? ball python..

a monitor would be something new that i would like to try tho
 
Ackies are nice -- best kept in pairs though. Have you thought about Timor monitors?

yea i like those too but do they keep there colors as adults a few pics a saw tehy didnt look the koolest compared to when ackies are adults they have a nicer color but timors are also a little cheaper so im thinking it might be a good one to start with
 
timors are very shy and will not be opt to handling as much as ackies will. Most if not all timors are wild caught or farm bred. FYI
 
yes i noticed most timors were w.c. i found some babies that are cb. i think they would be easier to handle but if they are shy i might go with an ackie.. i will be handeling it regularly but if i dont for a week i dont want it to get skittish...

any other suggestions or does anyone know where to get baby red ackies right now? saw a few juvies thats about it
