Spencer info

[Danda_Reptilia]

Can anyone provide me with some info on "Spencers"??. I am thinking about importing one for our education displays. Are they better for handling/keeping than "Laceys"??. There doesn't be to much info in the caresheet range for them. Also, what is the going price for them.

Personally I would prefer a Spencer to a Lace because of looks and size.

Cheers

Spencers are more flighty than laceys, though they are less inclinded to bite, large spencers are of similar body size to average laceys though their squat tail makes them much shorter (they much prefer to tail whip with their tails than bite). Spencers rather much, much hotter conditions than laceys, and don't really get hungry in anything under 30deg. They go for around $250 - $300ea. As with all monitors, you still need to put the handling time in though.
