Ackies

[Lozza]

in one of my books it says total length 63cm
mine are around 13-14cm snout-vent
they eat woodies and crickets mainly but I give them a treat of a pink mouse or something every now and then.
there is a good care article in one of the reptiles australia mags (written by the guy I got my ackies from)

how often do they shed?
what temp do they need?
sorry for all the question

what do they handle like.what sort of temperment.

 

[grimbeny]

Their not the best lizard for handling, they will run for it if u put them on the ground. Mine dont mind being picked up now they will sit on my hand however sometimes they will squirm if u try to restrain them. If u really want a lizard for handling best bet is a beardie. Having said that, i really love mine, they are really interesting to watch and have great personalities.

Allright thanks grimbenny.
