Was just on Gumtree looking for any vivs or snakes going, posted back in November was an adult Dumeril's, with viv and set up...
£100.
And like literally a 2 minute WALK from my front door. *cries*
Have emailed the guy but I doubt he still has it...
Just thought I'd share my dispair! |

Thanks, I think I'm going to need it. a) because its like 3 months after he posted it. b) if he still has it at that price, Ill be picking it up ASAP, and dealing with the fallout (OH) after. |

Well I realised couldn't afford to buy a full new set up brand new and the Dum on top of that.
Then I realised there are two wardrobes made out of contiboard in my old room at my Mum's place that she's been bugging me to empty for ages (they are turning it into a guest room).
I went and measured one today, and its like PERFECT for viv-ation lol.
So basically I'm going round there tomorrow to take apart this wardrobe/viv and then try and make my first homemade viv.
This way, I'll be able to afford a Dumeril's sooner, much to my OH's dismay |
