Ackie Monitor
The Varanus Acanthurus is an exothermic species that are native to the Northern parts of Australia where the tempature is both very humid and hot. These Lizards spend most of their time hunting or looking for a mate and when not burrow themselves into the ground to hide from predators and conserve water/energy. This particular species of monitor lizard have adapted to a communal lifestyle while many other lizards don't. This is my personal pet that i keep at home. He wasn't raised in a community so i keep him his own habitat.
