Its my first clutch from these ackies. I think the big thing to remember is make sure your enclosure can hold 7 to 12 inches of a soil mixture for them to burrow and tunnel. I have about 8 inches in my enclosure, and it seems to be utilized quite frequently by both the male and female.
Mini monitors, other select herps, and aquatics.

group shot of the 7 that hatched. One other did not make it out of the egg unfortunately, but I guess you can't win them all.

Let me start out with a big congratulations,hatching out any monitor is no small feat.Which leads me to my next point.Using anything less then 12-18 inches of substrate is like playing with fire.Getting monitors to breed is not that hard,getting them to nest is what hinders most people.Monitors need to nest and nest deep.If they do not find a suitable nesting area they will hold the eggs and die.This is the problem we are having with the Indo monitors,no one know what they like.At least with Akies we know.Good luck in the the future and I hope to see many more from you,but remember they like it deep.
