I just found out that my new baby boa is sick!
I cant believe it! I just found out that my baby boa Cha Cha has a respritory infection. I feel awful. Well, I just wanted to ask how much it usually costs to take a sick snake to the vet.  Thanx.

Jeanette,
Where are you located in MI? If you are anywhere near Lansing - try Michigan State University... I believe they have a really capable Herp. dept. You might even get it a lot cheaper through the Vet. students etc. etc. If they couldn't help you, I know they would at least recommend someone.

It really varries from vet to vet. I have one that comes to my house for $35. Here is a link for you to find a vet in your area if you need it. What makes you think the snake is sick? Up the temps and the humidity. Also make sure the vet does a culture to see what drugs will work. Last just be ready for a long fight depending on what is wrong. I had a boa last year that was on shots for 2 months. Good luck. herp vet connection

Good luck Kurzix, I'm Still trying to find a vet that treats Reptiles near us. Parkview might I have not checked. Last thing I went there for was to put the ferret to sleep. So I really wasn't in a Questioning mood.
