    Blood Tests = Anesthesia?

    I'm getting another pair of balls this spring to start breeding them in eventuality, and my current pet has shown no signs of IBD in the four months that I've had him, but I was thinking of getting a blood test for him to rule it out with a bit more certainty before I bring in two more snakes, even though I will be quarantining them for up to a year.

    I called around to all the vets in my area that do exotic pets, and was told that in order to take blood from a snake they had to anesthetize it, which immediately scared the hell out of me (and didn't seem to make much sense). Is it true or are they just trying to milk more money out of me?
