I am a vet student right now and I had the chance to have it done for free. I bought in my Male Suri. He's about 6 feet now and has been one of my all time favorite boas. There are lots of good reasons why I think it should be done like the ones mentioned in the previous posts. I did it mostly because I think that exposing my classmates to reptiles will open other doors to furthering reptile medicine. All went well and he hardly even felt the needle. I don't know if this will catch on but it is an inexpensive way to possitively identify any animal. If you are curious or need any other information email me and I can help.
