Whoa,, she is a big girl!!

Thank you. She's a puppy dog too! Super calm. I won't say "tame" but she is very laid back, moves fast when she wants, but hasn't struck at me, hissed at me, anything at all. Def got lucky with her.

UpDaTe TiMe!

Took my new boas to the vet today, and got a quote of $439 each! Plus an additional $46.93 every 3 days each for antibiotics.

Needless to say ouch!

I'll do the math for everyone, that's $1,159.58 for an office exam, a fecal, bloodwork, antibiotics, and X-Rays for both snakes! And that's not including a culture and micro to boot!

Snakes are expensive haha. Good thing I've got this username.

Good Lord!! Is that typical of a reptile vet exam?

I've had titanium teeth put on my dogs for about that price and that's a full scale dental surgery.

Expensive Hobby needs to be "Hit The Lottery" soon LOL!

Maybe I missed it, but what are the antibiotics for?

Never made mention of it publicly but when I got them, they both had some small issues.

Male had some facial swelling from a broken tooth, and the female had a rat bite on her nose, both from the previous owners.

Why can't you administer the antibiotics yourself?

I asked several times but they said they have to administer fluids at the same time because the meds are very hard on their livers. Only being a 3 treatment course means it must be pretty strong
