Hi All,
I have read numerous FAQs, as well as any other info I could get my hands on before considering the purchase of a yellow ackie. Well my wife bought one for me a couple weeks ago
She bought what she was told to be a female approx. 14 months old. 'She' (the monitor) is about 16" long and weighs 130g. She is very active and inquisitive and I have her in a 4'x2' enclosure with about 4-6 inches of cypress mulch (I was using up something I already had on hand rather than let it go to waste), multiple hides at both ends of the temp gradient and a big water dish that gets splashed in regularly
My questions are as follows
[1] How often do they eat and how much at a time (approximately as I know each animal is different)? I have only seen her eat 2-3 crickets every 4 days or so. I have left some crickets in the cage but they burrow and disappear and I am unsure whether or not she has dug them up to eat them because I have never seen her dig in the mulch.
[2] Can I introduce one or two more yellow ackies into the same enclosure, or is this asking for trouble?
Thanks,
Atlas.
