Do You Do Physicals On Your Snakes?

[Bellabob]

As in every once in a while you check for problems, make sure their mouth, eyes, nostrils, heat pits (if they have any) are clear, etc.

I do, and I keep records of the physicals too.

Yes I do! I check every snake every week and I keep records of it all. I am a bit (ok a lot) OCD (CDO it really should be alphabetical... )

Every month I take them all out and check them over. Look inside their mouths, overall check, re-check gender if I am skeptical, as well as disinfect their tubs. Don't want to stress them too much, I think every month is enough.

I usually don't look in the mouths Just a check over to make sure there is nothing wrong.

I take half of my snakes to the vet at the end of every year and rotate yearly which ones do to get fecal exams and a check up.

I hadn't thought about keeping records, but I do like to use handling time to gives my snakes a once over, make sure there's no odd bumps or wounds, eyes and face are clear, scales are looking good, etc etc.

Yearly vet visit. We've only had these guys for 2 years so we still don't trust ourselves to completely know if there's anything wrong besides what is obvious during handling.
