Vets happen no matter what. But the best thing is to know that and be prepared. It irks me when people get especially exotics and them expect to never go to the vet. It's just nature. But with good care and husbandry you cut your chances to very slim of having to make a vet trip. Most of my rescues have come from people that didn't think the vet was necessary when it was totally obvious, or they couldn't because of financial reasons. Every month I set aside a 20-50$ just for a vet fund. Especially taking In rescues I end up seeing my vet quite often he's awesome though. No matter what day except Sunday I can go down there by 4:30pm and see him.
