Where to get an ultrasound machine?

[Pythonman]

Anyone know where I could look for a used ultrasound machine that would be good for using on ball pythons(if anyone knows, what kind would that be?) and how much they might go for? Thanks for any help!

You're looking at several thousand dollars. :-P

lol save your money until/if you hit the big leagues

Money's not really a thing...I plan to go to vet school in the near future, hopefully next summer... this is just fun to me..if anything it would be good experience...more than 5 grand?

[slartibartfast]

I've seen old ones run 2kish, up to 10k.

If you are going to vet school anyway...the university will definitely have some.

Maybe look on Ebay. Or you could contact a distributor for availability on refurbished models. A used one could still run you a few grand.

A few grand isn't terrible...It's not something I'm going to run out and buy but if I can throw a little money aside here and there, it'll be fun to play with and good for experience..Just something to look into...And slartibartfast...I dont wanna wait that longgg! lol! Just something to look into!

there is alot of them on ebay from no reserve upto about 8k or so it might be worth a look there. i thought about getting one it would be a cool thing to tinker with around here

I think you can rent one. I have a friend who ran a business renting devices like that out to hospitals and such. I use to sit down at her office hooked up to a pulse oximeter for no real reason. I guess it was just fun to sit there with little electrical devices that cost hundreds of dollars.

Although I don't know if you have to be a hospital or work for one to rent them.
