    The vet that I'll be taking Foster too likes to do more than probably necessary. Is there any benefit to doing blood tests? I think another vet quoted less than $30 for a blood test (but I could be wrong since my memory stinks, not quite to where it will peel paint though).

    After spending $2000+ on our two dogs in the past two weeks, $30 is chump change!

    theres no real reason for a blood test its only to see if theres anything physically wrong like for ibd and viruses. i mean it is good to do for extra security purposes so you know 100% nothing is wrong with the snake but i didnt get one done i didnt find it nessicary

    Thanks! I'll keep that in mind!

    May I ask what your vet charges for different services (ballpark)? Our vet will take reptiles but because her fees are no different for a snake than for a dog, I'm wondering if she is a real herp vet or not. I'm just assuming that a herp vet would be more expensive than your general vet.
