How important is it to take your BPs in for annual vet visits? Back in Feb. I took the two BPs I owned at that time in for an annual exam. All my vet did was weigh my snakes and check for a respiratory infection and mites. I got charged $70 per snake, which just seems like a giant waste of money to me. I've come to realize my vet is full of s*** as he tried to tell me that belly heat was bad. There is another vet in my area that I've heard good things about, but before I go I want to know if it's really important. I hate feeling like I'm wasting my money, so should a standard vet visit include more than basic checks I already do?
