Giving the injections is up to you. I would not do it but I a not a vet so I can't give you advice on that. IMO, taking a snake, or any herp to the vet is a waste of time and money unless you know there is something wrong with them. The only time I take a snake to the vet is when I know I need a med. Usually I am pretty much the one that says what they need and I am just using the vet to get the drugs. The main problem is that the vast majority of so called herp vets have no idea what they are talking about. There are some good ones out there, but they are definitely the exception.

$200 is a little ridiculous in my opinion for what they did as well.
