Hey I'm currently in school to become a vet for exotics. And although yes they do kiney transplants on Humans, and very very very few on cats, transplants are years away from reptiles. Mainly due to two reasons, 1.) transplants are still very experimental in humans let alone in the animal world. and 2.) Reptile surgeries is still in their infincy. Maybe down the line when they get basic reptile surgeries down like that in dogs and cats then transplants might be fesable. Even if so it would set an owner back more then most vets see as practical.



But yes its true when money is invloved, anything is possible somehow. But it most likly wouldn't help and the reptile would be on meds and check ups for the rest of their life, its almost like letting the animal pass away peacefully is better then putting them through years or months of pain. so ya thats just my 2 cents on the topic, sorry.
