Anyone had VPI pet insurance for their snakes before?

Doesn't seem worth it, a vet visit for an RI is about $150 so I would have to have each snake get an RI twice annually just to break even on insurance premium vs treatment cost. You're better off putting that money into a savings account.

I second the account thing, if you wanted to have a vet fund for yourself I don't see that being a bad idea. Toss 16 bucks a month in and you'll be able to cover an RI in 9.5 months, a lot more if you take the appropriate care. Accidents will always happen, but at least you'll know it's paid for without having to bounce back and forth with an insurance company.

I appreciate the input. I just always thought that RI meds plus injections are very pricey or at least that's what people make them seem to be.

Can someone tell me from experience how much they paid for an RI visit plus meds?

My vet visits are rarely over $80...although I think my vet cuts me a break sometimes, as she loves my snakes and I bring them in if they wheeze slightly lol! But I brought my eldest in for an injury treatment, that was two injections and ran me about $60. When she had a lower GI infection the meds, gear, and exam/tests ran me a little over $80. But that's rare.
