You shouldn't need to take your snakes in for yearly checkups; there isn't much that the vet will be able to tell you that you can't detect for yourself.

You should, however, have a vet you can consult if you notice things like pronounced weight loss, weird lumps, things like that. You should be checking your snakes regularly, and might want to set it up so that once a month or every few months, you take a weight, run your hands over the entire body, closely look in/around the eyes, under the chin, check the cloaca etc. If you find anything weird, to the vet you go!
