THinking more into it, right now I haven't had my snake for very long. RIght now if it was sick and I was told it would cost like $800-$1000 to heal it I wouldn't do it. But 5, 10, or 15 years from now. I could see myself mabey doing it. Again I just say mabey becuase I have never really been in that situation. But I think after having that long of a connection to my animal I would want it to live if possible.

The only time I have had to take a pet to the vet was a hampster late last year. It was sick right from the day I got it. He had wet tail. (I didn't know that when I bought it of course). I called every vet in town. The cheapest vet said I would have to pay him $60 just so he could tell me it had wet tail even though I already knew that is what it was, and then it would cost about $30-$40 to medicate and take care of it. ANd every vet said after all of it he could still die. SO in my head it was $100 to MAYBEY save my pet that costs about $15. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I hated myself and cried many times for not doing it, but I could not spend that amount of money to save a hampster. Instead I got the advice from someone who bred hampsters and delt with wet tail before. She told me how to treat it and after acouple weeks both of us thought he was getting better, and for a couple days he seemed like he was back to normal health, and then he was just dead.

But that also was jsut a hampster. I would pay more to see a vet for my snake then I would for a hampster.
