Default Cheapest ways to acquire vivs

Ok, so I want to get a carpet/boa, and want to house it in a viv (or RUB in a viv at start) however I don't really want to spend ~100 plus on a pet shop viv, but am not particularly confident of building one myself! Anyone know anyone in the Yorkshire area with second hands/builds them?

Thanks

To the OP though, ebay is where I've bought mine from.

building your own viv is really not hard and much cheaper than buying a viv. i have built all my vivs and i built one this weekend for £45 in about 2 hours. b&q cut the wood to size for a small fee (£1.50 for all the wood for my last viv)

Haha, alright guys enough bragging about your empty vivs! Go find some snakes to put in them! Think I'll take a look on ebay, I'm slightly averse to building my own as I'm pretty sure I'll come back on day to find that a hatchling has forced the walls apart .
