hi....i am lookin to purchase a dwarf monitor and i was just wonderin which one is better for a beginner...an ackie or a savanna? or is there another??

Definatly go with an ackie or two. Much easier to maintain than a savannah.

Reasons for this are: They're FAR smaller, have far smaller apetites, require far less room and are much more social. Ackies are a much better way to ease yourself into the varanid world.

Yes I agree with V.hb on getting ackies as a first monitor. The feeding bill will keep enough money in your wallet to get them a nice big christmas present.

The Savanna monitor is very lazy compared to Ackies.

A savahnna is not a dwarf monitor. They get preety big.

If you can find one, a storr's is an awesome dwarf monitor<my favourite. Ackies are great aswell-I prefer reds over yellows.
