If your a new keeper (less than a couple years), I think absolutely! ... Even vets that don't have a ton of experience with reptiles are schooled in the basics as far as identifying possible problems early.

The other benefit is that you'll establish a relationship with a vet or vet office in case something serious does come up. There's nothing worse than needing help in an emergency and not knowing where to go or who to trust.
