it could be an isolated incident but i would have to say it would be pretty rare to occur.

hey guys i am getting a spencers monitor and i am going to build an enclosure for it for a full grown one and i have heard that it needs to be at least twice as long as the monitor and i am only getting one that is fully grown at 120cm so would it be ok for it to live in a 240cm long, 120cm high and 120cm deep enclosure? thanks

i no a bigger enclosure is better but i just dont know where to get a bigger enclosure and the sizes i listed above is the max size sheets of wood i can buy to build an enclosure plus i dont want to keep it outside because victoria can get pretty damn cold and plus it would be better for him to be able to experience all the different smells and being around people and being able to look out of his enclosre to see all people around him and to experience little things like having the tv on will also help him become tame and more calm around people
