If it's only $18.50 per snake, you would only be paying a measly $15,540 a year.

I think for the pet owners its great I've looked at getting it for my dogs! Its a really go idea for pets thats for sure..

When I went to click "quick quote" it didn't give me any other options besides cat and dog! Help?

So that would really be great if they would cover the vet bill, and you just paid like a co-payment like you do with Health insurance.

go to this link has more details yull have to call them for snakes and other exotics i dont know what it would be for multable i could se a major discount like on cars

sorry i forgot to put that this is health insuance they cover vet

I'm going to call just to see if there is a a price difference between diff species of snakes.

Considering how infrequently I need to go to the vet for my bp I'm willing to pay the vet bill in full, rather than pay for a service I don't need.

That's just my .02

Well so I called and it turns out, its $18.50 for reptiles, no matter where you live or what snake, because that was my quote for my anaconda. They don't cover regular bills, only like in case of emergency, and your deductible is $50, and after that they will pay 90% of the bill. So like a fecal sample or something among that isn't covered, but if your snake had a RI, and you goto the vet say the bill is like $120. Then take your $50 deductible out, then that leaves you with $70, which they will cover 90% of, which leaves you to pay $7. Also if you purchase for the whole year, its $198, which saves you $24. It would be good if you have a mildly expensive snake or so, but to most average keepers, it probably won't be worth it.

I would expect that they are willing to pay up to a set amount for a specific service. I would be surprised if they just paid a percentage of whatever the vet charged. I bet that you would be left with much more of a bill than you may think.
