yes you can keep a sepencers in that enclosure for its first two to three years. then you would be looking at a large outdoor enclosure. spencers monitor is a good choice.

IMO for an adult 4mx2m would be a starting point, bigger would be better. A 5' tank would be good to start with, but depending on how much you feed them they can grow very fast or slow, so it may not last too long if you feed them alot.

Dog food, rats,mice. I have seen a cool 2 storey enclosure used for a lace monitor, it was 4 foot long and 4 foot high about 2 foot wide, the lacey was about 4 foot long, It was in need of a slightly bigger enclosure but seemed more than happy living in there.

Here's some pics of our hatchy Spencers.
8ft should be okay for the couple of years but ideally when they are adults if you can - house them in a large outdoor pit. Much better for them. More room to run around and climb etc.
They love basking on logs and rocks.
