I am in the habit of finding a good nearby vet clinic before I get a pet, so I did the same for Henry (that's my snake) in case of a snakemergency. I don't know exactly what that would be but he is is unusually clumsy* and could probably figure something out. The reptile clinic near me offers a $1 meet and greet - they do a little wellness checkup, you get to meet the team, they go over diet and stuff with you (think I got that down but eh). Only reason I'm considering it is his past owners neglected him and never fed him and I don't know if his weight is normal. Or if anything is normal.

Part of me thinks this seems like a reasonable thing to do and part of me just thinks it would stress him out. But this is coming from the person who asked about snake leashes. (And, for the record, he would be in a carrier)

Hope this isn't a stupid question. I'm just a new snake mom and I want to do what is best for Henry. (Except the leash thing, apparently.)


*For instance, when I set him on my lap when I sit on the floor, he sort of goes into a trance and falls off me. Then slithers back into my lap, and sliiiiiiide, slither, sliiiiiiide...
