Hi all,
I wanted to see other people’s opinions on vets and pythons.
so I have a Stimson who will be about 10 years old this year.
I was told when I brought her that a vet visit isn’t needed unless something is wrong. So for the past 8/9 years that I have owned her, I have never taken her to the vet (she has always been healthy and eats well, good weight).
I was speaking with someone recently and they were shocked! Apparently they take their snake in for annual check ups with the vet. I didn’t know what to say In my head, I only needed to visit the vet if my snake was unwell, never occurred to me that she needed to be checked up on annually.
So, what is everyone else’s opinion? Should a healthy snake go for annual vet check ups?
