Ackie care

[mr~python]

ok, so im getting an ackie sometime in the next few months and im researching them thouroughly right now. so far i have an artcle from reptiles zine, a caresheet from, pro exotics, and this: http://www.kingsnake.com/acanthurus/care/index.html
do you guys think about it. does it look like its good info?

also, if you guys know of any other good caresheets on ackies please let me know. or, is anyone here experienced with ackies? i cant seem to find anywhere how much you are supposed to feed them a day.

*crickets* anyone there? i know its only been 4 and a half hours but usually threads get a response in 10 minutes on this site, LOL.

Dunno about feeding amounts.. but pro exotics knows their stuff. You can e-mail them and ask.

[mr~python]

i know. i was thinking about doing that too. hmmmm... maybe i will.

I saw a couple of ackies at the swap today. It's probably a good thing I didn't have enough money with me.

[mr~python]

ROFL!! i thought the same thing at the San Jose reptile show. maaaan, if only i could go there now!

[Shelby]

Yep.. if only. lol

I'm lucky I get a quality reptile show within an hour of me every two weeks. I need to buy a car dangit..

ok, here's a pic of the cage:


its 29 inches x 1 foot x 1 foot. me and my dad built the screen to hous reptiles because it was originally used for fish. is this a good cage for an ackie?

[Shelby]

It should be ok.. I'd just make sure it's deep enough to allow enough substrate for burrowing.

my reptiles magazine article says 6-8 inches of dirt so im gonna fill half of it up with dirt. that sounds good, right?

oh yeah, what did you think of that caresheet i posted in my first post? does it look like its knowlidgeable?
