Ackies?

I was wondering if you could handle Ackies often(once a day or 2 days) like a leopard gecko or beardy or they are the type of lizard that is bought only to watch? Thanks

I handle mine daily. I feed them individually roaches because I don't like them crawling freely in their cage

I wouldn't see why you can't handle them daily or every 2 days. Handling them would make them more docile and unlikely to be aggressive. Though, if you do happen to get it, I would try not to handle it daily for long periods of time because that can stress it out. I would recommend handling maybe every other day for a small period of time, like maybe 10-15 minutes then once it gets settled in you can handle it more frequently.

Thanks, how big is your cage? and if its not to much trouble could you post pic of the cage?

Thanks you guys

here it is with a temporary top on it...The actual top is out in the garage being fitted for its new viewing window.

dimensions

77"x33"x26"

it is an old cattle trough I found on craigslist. I bought it with some other stuff and sold off everything but the trough....so far I made about $150 off the deal

i handle my dragons and leoppards and even red eyed crocodile skink avery day and the beardeds are known for the best handling lizards as they are easily tamed and lap dog calm.. just need time with them the only reason i think people dontlike handling leopards is the cause the chanc eof them doing somthing that will drop ther tail off

OOh Can you also take a pic of the inside of the enclosure?

The hole is basically a buried retes stack. It sets on the bottom of the tub and is directly in front of the window.

The far end is where my nest box goes.
