I was intereseted in getting a smaller monitor. What are some small species of monitors? I suppose most of you reccomend ackies for a first monitor?

Of course ackies. Some might say kimberly rocks, but I would say no way! They should be left for breeders (I think) until they are not so rare in american collections same as pilbaras. So the best dwarf monitor is defently the ackie, and if you don't like to see or really interact (lol not to many people like that) than timors aren't bad.

Ackies are awesome, they are so brave, so much attitude, in the open so much, and cant stay out of everything going on around them. They are a whole world less expensive to buy keep care for. In the first year alone with a large monitor youll spend as much on food as youll spend on the ackie to buy (a red as a comparison and they average over $300 each), the ackie can live in a cage that a hatchling larger monitor can spend a few months at most in.
