After being told time and time again that Ackies are so much better than Savs, I finally agree. Although I began with Savannahs, and I am a perfectionist so everything I did was suitable for them it was just on a much larger scale than with ackies.
You can learn much more from a smaller monitor, and do so much more with so much less space, time and cost. I keep both big monitors, and little guys I love them all, but I must say if you want to start out, get an ackie, even better get a few babies and raise them together. Their activity as a group is just incredible to watch.

LCD? Holy moly, I gotta start breeding Rosies!! I still have a 17-inch regular! I must be in the wrong biz? LOL! 
I agree totally V.hb. Thing is, the industry is still set up to push push push savannahs and niles and waters. Its sad. Hopefully people will make the right decisions.

Okay, thanks guys. I think I'll look into ackies more and try to get one. Anyway, it was just a question and I might not make my decision in a long time.

Sav's are great, what do u mean u heard bad things about them?
Ackies are awesome too, i'd buy a few too bad they're like 300$ each. Savs go as low as 25$ each.
and if u want a companion, why do u want a lizard? get a dog or cat

You have heard bad things about savanas! if you acctually work with them they are the nicest animals. i know someone with a full grown savana and the savana would of ripped your face off as a baby, but then she just started finding ways to hold him(like putting a towel on him and over his head) and in a couple months HE WAS GREAT, he also gives her kisses!

Cool, Aaron. The bad thing I heard was not about how rough the sav was, it was the tendency to be shipped in large numbers and given little food. I heard that most of them don't live long, but people like you have changed my mind! Merry Christmas to all !
