    Vet visits

    We bought 3 Balls about a month ago and I am curious. Do they need any type of vaccinations or vet visits other than when they are sick. I have read people taking their snake to the vet and getting injections. Are these some type of vaccinations? I know certain animals need yearly vet visits but are snakes one of those type of animals?

    I haven't heard anything like that... I took 2 of mine to the vet about a month ago just to see how to probe (sex) them. He didn't mention anything about any vaccinations or shots. However there might be if your bp is sick or for ones that have parasites. For the most part if they are CBB and you take proper care of them you have nothing to worry about

    Those people you heard about giving their BPs injections were probably dealing with a Respiratory Infection or some other illness. There are a few that require several injections prescribed by a vet. They don't require vaccination like dogs and cats.
