I just adopted a 2 year old ackie about 5 days ago. She has been very active, great with eating, and suddenly 2 days ago she has been hiding in her enclosure. Im assuming this is normal? Since it is a new environment
Hi there I just purchased a nile monitor 4 days ago but he is not eating the 1st day i just put him in a small plastic enclosure so he could chill the i put him in a big plastic enclose of around 55in long 20 wide and tall he is around 18in from head to tail 2nd day he ate 1 mice but since refuses to eat i tried fish, shrimp, chicken, and live mice again but nothing he has very good heat and Im waiting on his new enclosure it will be 2 meters long 1 meter wide and tall its coming by tomorrow or sunday. If you have any tips about what I could do it would be awesome thanks before hand
I cannot really assist. Not knowledgeable on Niles. I will say that this is no unheard of from a reptile in a new environment. Niles can get pretty freaked out too. I would have minimal contact with the Nile for a few weeks. Only interact when necessary. Let him/her settle and keep offering food.
Missed a golden oppurtunity for ACKFAQ or FAQIE
Great video 👍
Definitely going to look into ackies once I'm done upgrading my current reptiles enclosures.
Awesome vid professor 👍🏻
Good video. Glad to see they are doing well in cohab.
Good info thanks for this!
Should’ve called this video “Ackie F.A.Q.-ie”.
hahahaha
Do you treat the wood on the inside of cages with anything to keep it from rotting or getting mold on it from the humidity and substrate. Thanks

I wish i could buy those bulbs, i can't get them in Colorado at all. Only can buy reptile specific lights and its expensive.
Order online.
Yep! As Toby said, online works!

I would say that is perfectly normal!
Instead of replacing the bulbs with lower wattage why not use a dimmer ????
the fixtures I use do not work with a dimmer. Definitely an option though!
I’m thinking of buying an Ackie and I was wondering if a 120x62.5x127cm Vivarium would be ok
is that lxwxh?
Yes
@@nathanbowen6744 I would do no less than 152.4x76.2x91.44cm (5'x2.5'x3')
What brand are you basking light fixtures?

No UV Lighting?
Not in my top 3 most asked no. Maybe in a part 2 of this video!
