First of all, I have been extremely lucky so far and have not needed to take any of my snakes to a vet...



Secondly, the closest one to me that will even look at reptiles is over 90 miles north of my location, so I'm crossing my fingers that I won't ever need one...



When I begin to purchase snakes and other reptiles for my petshop, I plan on obtaining a good microscope and learning the basics of parasite detection and eradication myself, and hopefully can get on good terms with the local 4-legged-fuzzy-thing vet in case I need any antibiotics for my critters... I also intend on being able to assist anyone I sell a reptile to with basic health and care issues... Otherwise, I think it would be irresponsible of me to open a petshop in a town without a reptile vet.... But hey, maybe I'll get lucky and the local vet will get someone in to care with reptiles after my shop gets opened up... Although I won't hold my breath waitin on that one...
