hey guys.
planning on building some enclosures.. i have on part with a floor space of 7 X 3 feet. (213cm X 90cm aprox)
i was wondering if there was any sort of monitor i could keep. assuming this was 2 ft tall. i was told on the net, a spencer would be fine, only to read the recomended floor space is 6 x 12 ish.. or something..
im looking for a large monitor, not an ackie.. or similar (nothing against them, their beautiful. i just want a big dinosaur)
bottom line, is there a monitor which would fit in a 7x2 floor space enclosure comfortably.. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jul-06 Location: sydney, northern beaches | | | | HOLY SMACK!!! that things huge.. i think it would apreciate somehtign a little larger than i am thinking about, and probably afford.. (its a monster)
would a spencers actually be alright in it.. as its only 3.5-4 foot long..
or any other monitors..
P.S. the varanus panoptes is 150 cm full grown. the whole cage it only 213 cm long..
are these actually suitable, or just big lizards.. ? haha
thansk for the quick replies. |
