Do you take your reptiles to a vet???
I was just wondering how many people actually take their reptiles to the vet for normal checkups and fecal exams.

I have vets come to my house every week. Of course, it's different when you run a rescue. Not everybody needs such "hands-on" care.

I only seek out the vet when the animal is sick/injured beyond my own capabilities.

Ditto what Linds said. I may take certain newly acquired animals for a fecal etc, but that is not the norm.

This boa was nearly peeled like a bananna by a cat.
I did all the medical treatment, including sutires, so you can guess which way I voted!

WOW are you a vet omen, or did you learn to do this yourself.

I think the omen was rough with his toys, thus learning it himself

The omen, isn't it illegal to do stuff like that yourself?

Most of the Vets in my area know less about reptiles than I do. Not knocking them- but they're mainly cats and dogs specialists.
