Vet check up questions

[jncoclub]

I believe that my snakes are doing well and are healthy, but I keep reading that you all take your snakes to the vet just for regular check ups. Last year when I lived in FL I was great friends with the Exotic Reptile shop owners (one was a vet dr.) where we got our snakes- so if I had any questions or anything, I took the snakes to them. Now that I’m in CT I want to start taking them for regular check ups just to keep them healthy. Questions:
- How often should they go?
- What do they do/look for in check ups? Do they do any labs tests? What sort?
- Should I bring poop samples?
- If I take all four at the same time, am I entitled to any sort of discount?
- Estimated costs? Anticipated extra costs?
- Is any time of year better than another?
- Anything else you can share with me?
Does anyone have links to find a good snake vet in the south eastern Connecticut area or surrounding areas?
THANKS!
