which would be good

Hello im wanting to get a monitor since i can't have my dwarf retic. I was at the local petshop today and saw a Timor Monitor i really like it, but i also heard tha Arkies are great also which would be better to have since the baby is on it's way? Thanks Aaron

I don't know much about timors, but ackies are the best choice for starting in monitors. They are smaller than timors too, so it'd be a better choice when there's a baby around.

ok but im wondering if i should wait or should i go ahead and get one and do you know of any good breeders? I would like to have a monitor but i can also put it on hold if you all think i should.

Well you know better than anyone what you are ready/able to take on. Ackies eat a lot and require a very hot basking spot.

This is an excellent ackie care sheet. After you read this you should have a better idea of their care: http://www.proexotics.com/care_ackie.html

It's pretty easy to find ads on kingsnake or fauna classifieds for ackies. I don't know of any particular breeders.
