Hard to say really. We had a really good relationship with our vet up in northern Michigan before we moved here to Ohio. She knew she would lose a bit of cash from probing fees we'd paid her but she knew we'd be back for other herp care. Also because we did a bit of rescue and rehab here or there she offered us a nice discount and wanted to save us cash that could go to other things. Some vets might not want to teach you to probe/pop. Best thing you can do is ask though.
