Spencers or Ackie

[dassios1]

I'm going to be purchasing a 1800x600x600 enclosure and was wondering what monitor to get for it. Its now between a Spencers or an Ackie. I want something that I can handle pretty often and wont bolt as soon as I put it down. I know that enclosure is fine for adult ackies but what about an adult spencers? Also how long does it take for both to reach adult size?

Both monitors take about 1 year to reach full size with regular feeding. Personally i'd go with a pair of accies because they are much tamer, that size enclosure would still comfortably fit a pair a spencers, whether you could handle them is a different matter. Its up to you but i'd go with an accie or two, much better first monitor.

I'd go ackies, though if you want something that handles well, get a beardie or bluetongue. Ackies are likely to reach adult size in the year, but not Spencers. Adult Spencers would require at least 2.5 sq M each and that would be the minimum I'd use.

I agree with what's said above, go for an ackie. For a Spencers I'd have a much larger enclosure as iV said.

purchased a pair of ackies about 2 months ago. and lets just say its been my best monitor purchase, they are so fun to watch and a great size to hande without being shredded, definately worth looking into mate
