Serious thread for a joke? you decide

My mrs found this on Gumtree(a second hand Ad site)

ive had this ladybird for 4 weeks now and ive just got a job so that means i can no longer care for him, his name is terrence and id like to keep his name as terrence as that is what he answers to. he is on a diet of fresh salad, e.g lettuce carrots brocolli with the occasional treat of ice cream, he loves ice cream.

Ladybirds are fairly easy to look after and can be housed in a well ventilated container, they do however, need to be handled daily and able to climb, i have been housing terrence in a 3ft vivarium as this allows him to climb on his branches provided and he has artificial plants for a natural look to the enclosure, but if you want the vivarium that'll be another £20

so £40 you get my beloved terrence and a 3ft vivarium, bargain, you wouldnt want to miss out!

if you're genuinely intrested please contact me on _____

Deal or no deal?

im tempted to contact him to see if it sold, if so, i might have to start selling locusts and crickets as pets

btw, i got a common house spider for sale, answers to the name of Fred, for an extra £20 and you can have the full setup (incs icecream tub, and tescos energy saving light bulb) hehe

i think its a serious ad but not for terrence but for the viv, think about it u are getting a viv and all the branches and plants for £40 .... i think its a very clever way of getting u to read the ad and terrence is just a little added extra

This is not a vivarium, its more than just a vivarium.. its Terrances elegantly decorated home *read in a soft soothing voice with marks and spencers music in the background*
