Ackies vs. Timor monitors

SavvGawd Feb 24, 2007 08:09 PM

I'm currently in the market for a small pair of monitors and have settled on either Timors or ackies. Any of you suggest one over the other and why? Thanks!

Ackies. All are CBB and they are hardy.

Ackies all the way. They are outgoing, easy keepers and are quite entertaining to watch. Many become very friendly towards their keepers. They are also cb and hardy. Timors are shy by nature and in a well planned enclosure you generally will hardly ever see them, so you get an empty cage. You can look back in the archives for other posts as this question is very common. Good luck.
