Re: Dwarf MOnitors
That'd be fine for even more than one ackie. A pair at least.

Re: Dwarf MOnitors
One important thing about monitors is that they love to dig and should be given a deep enough substrate, that holds burrows well. For ackies, you'll probably want 12"-16" of substrate or so, so you'll probably want a cage that can accomodate that. Plain old dirt works well. Pro Exotics (a well known monitor breeder) recommends decomposed granite, but I haven't found any so I can't comment from experience.
Varanus.net has tons of information on monitors, and is frequented by some of the best known monitor breeders out there like Frank Retes (Goanna Ranch), and Jon Kendrick (Niagara Reptiles), the author of the article you read. Also, Daniel Bennett's book, "The Savannah Monitor Lizard" is just an all-round fantastic book on keeping monitors in general. He's one of the few people in the world who have studied monitors in the wild as well as successfully bred them in captivity.
