    Pet insurance?
    Do any of you guys have insurance coverage on your snakes?

    Finding coverage for snakes may not be very easy, the closest thing to it would be coverage used by farmers for their livestock.

    If you are talking about health type insurance like the ones available for dogs and cats, it will in the long run cost you far more than what you will ever need to spend on vet care.

    IMO the best way to go about this is to be disciplined and to put money aside in case issues arise.

    Ok awesome. I just don't have a clue what vet visits cost yet as I'm still new

    For a vet visit? Care Credit Accounts, use them for the dogs and pay them off before the interest hits.

    For a sale? My wife and I are never in the same room or in each others sightline during a public delivery.

    It's funny you ask, as one of the offered benefits at my new job is pet insurance and it does cover exotics. The monthly nut for 80 snakes is more than I've spent on vet bills in the last 3 years though.
