I am sure if there was such a feasible pet health insurance policy here U.S. may do the same. But I am not aware of one. Also, there aren't too many good herp vets out there. Even the expeienced one I go to does the "google" in the back office. How sad huh... Then I got charged $50+ for neosporin. Get that!
