I was wondering if anybody ever takes their reptiles for regular (yearly maybe) "Well Snae/Lizard" examinations. I know many parrot people that do this for their parrots.

Do you think it's a good idea or not?

I took my boa to vet today as I was panicking a bit over a possible RI (it wasn't) and asked him about yearly checks. Apart from looking the animal all over they can take fecals, bloodwork, and many other things that would run to something like £200 per critter (I have 9!! and I know many of you have more) so I don't think I could afford to do more than 2-yearly exams. Some people have said also it's better to just stay away rather than risk their critter catching something so I'm not sure.

What do you guys think?
