ok, I have made her a vet appointment for Oct. 30th for a fecal and full exam...since she was in such poor care before I obtained her, I decided to do the full exam to look for any 'hidden' illness.

I do have to say though...this is the first time I have ever taken anything to a vet as these animals are my first animals I have ever had 'myself'...as in w/o my parents help, haha. What can I expect?

I got on a local vet forum and called the two top recommended herp vets and I am going to the more experienced one. It's a $40 first time pet AND owner charge and the fecal is $20 so not as bad as I thought it would be. Anything else done is extra so I'm taking $150 in case they need to do some other test. Plus I plan to take one other of my snakes with me ... they said it doesn't matter which one I bring, just that it's another $25 charge for the pets first visit...after they all come at least once the 'office charge' will drop and it'll be regular prices afterwards.

I am going to wait until closer to the date of the appointment to decide who else to take...everyone else is doing fine, eating well and I'm not sure who to take! haha. I might take my little amel corn snake since it's the only one I do not know the sex of, but if one of my other snakes show a sign of illness I'll take them instead. I'm so excited!...yet I'm anxious...I don't know what to think

Oh, and the only reason I am waiting until october...I'll have a whole $350 to go towards all this so that way I know I can cover any costs for meds, ect. Plus this vet is kinda hard to get into...they are always FULL! that is good right?

Is it bad that I am waiting so long?
