How long do ackie monitors live
Ackies live 15–20 years. They are hardy if kept hot and given a proper burrow; the common killers are chronic low temperatures (they stop digesting and waste), respiratory infection from damp cool conditions, and metabolic bone disease without UVB. A committed, experienced keeper sees them thrive for decades.
Enclosure and the burrow instinct
Adults need a 4×2×2 ft (120×60×60 cm) enclosure minimum, with a deep (12+ in / 30+ cm) diggable substrate (sand/soil mix) for burrowing — ackies spend much time underground. Low humidity (30–40%) and a thermal gradient are essential. A secure, weighted lid is mandatory; they are escape artists.
