Evening all

Is it just me or is putting together a vivexotic extremely bothersome!!!?

Its taken me AGES and im red hot! wasn't expecting it to be quite so heavy either! Time for a glass of something ice cold I think!

Ive let Percy have a wander in the garden this afternoon she seemed a bit dazed and confused though!does anyone else let the snakes out when the weathers this good ?

it should take less than 30 minutes to build a vivarium, but if you're like me and make silly mistakes.. like for example putting things the wrong way round, then having to unscrew everything to change it, or forgetting to put a bulb guard on first so you have to take off bits to screw that on easier. Then gradually the cursing and redness increases, even more fun with a broken hand :P

the LX48 ones are tricky, the runners are always wobbly and hard to get on if you put them on the right way

so hard to put them on the right way, you have to get it just right so the twisty bit goes over the screw, and you cant even see, then you have to screw it when you cant see whats going on! far too much effort
