    Pet Insurance?
    Hey all, I've been switching all my insurance over to USAA. If you're in the military, have a spouse or parent in the military, CHECK THEM OUT

    Atuo liability and renters up to 20k for $40 a month. Not bad! One thing they don't offer though is pet insurance. As most of us know, snakes can get expensive. Especially morphs. I know I can claim all of the equipment, but not the snakes themselves.

    Does anyone here have any insurance on their balls? If so.. where can I go, and is it expensive?

    Thanks

    I found out thru someone who actually bought pet insurance, it's basicly a waste. Her dog escaped the yard and was injured. They paid very little on the claim. If you take excellent care of your animals you probably won't use it enough to pay for what you paid out over the months. Out of the last 9 dogs I had, only one would have been eligible to gain from it. But he had cancer that was spreading and an eldrly dog. So I opted to put him down rather than put him thru the hell.
    If you want a so called policy start a small savings account and pay your "premium" to it. Then if you have an emergency pull it out. If you never have an emergency warranting pulling it out you will have a nice nest egg. Hope this helps.:)
