Hi Mark

Thanks for the reply.

Well I have a birthday coming up and asked my wife for a Bearded
Dragon, thinking I would stand a cat in hell's chance of her saying
yes. Well bugger me she did ! She is going to get me a full set up
viv the lot. (I am wondering what room she wants decorating....that ?
will come later I expect) Anyway I have contaced a few sites but they
dont ship and they are too far away. Exeter isnt too far from here.

I work from home you see so spend all my time here so there isnt a
problem with having the time for it, if only I can get hold of one.

I guess what I am looking for, if anyone can help is a cheapish
Vivarium, and a place to get the Bearded from.

I look forward to hearing from anyone that can help.
Your right mark reptile shops are thin on the ground in the SW. In
general are UK Reptile shops doing good business??
Regards and thanks again mark
