I don’t take my snakes to the vet for a checkup, just if there is an issue. As for quarantine, as mentioned this is to protect the rest of your collection. That said, even if this is your only snake, it’s best to keep new purchases on white paper towels for at least a month or so to spot mites or issues with their stool. For my quarantine tubs, they stay on paper towels for the duration of quarantine.

I’m going to get him registered at the vets at some point in the next few weeks anyway. It’s only down the road from ours so that won’t be an issue.
But I’d rather take him for checkups possibly every six months as I’m not the biggest fan of getting his mouth open to check for an RI, bubbles and whatnot.
It’s more of a peace of mind type of thing.
