Thanks everyone. I googled ackies and the red ones are really cool looking. They get bigger than the yellow ones? That's strange. I would have thought it would just be a color morph. But then again I have ball pythons on the brain lol. How much bigger do the reds get?

If you have 2 red ackies can you house them together? What about 2 yellow ackies?

I want a burrowing animal! I totally want a big cage full of dirt and things living underground in it. Yay. I have to have one. In a few months lol. Gotta move first.

Do you have to handle them super frequently to have them docile? I know with like a ferret you have to have them out of their cage like 4 hours a day... Of course reptiles and mammals are pretty different but the only lizards I've had were leos and they tolerated/didn't seem to enjoy being handled no matter how frequently or infrequently I handled them. Same with my snakes, really. They ball up at first then they roam around, whether I hold them every day or once a week.

Realisticaly I don't think that I would be able to handle the Ackie every single day. Probably every other day though, or something like that...

Thanks
