My one year old ig is larger than that. Is his tail complete? or has he lost parts of it? has he recieved vet care yet? have blood panels and fecal tests ran so you can see what parasites or diseases he may have Wonderful thing you did Congrats

his tail is complete,and how much would all these vet bills cost??i dont even know if there is a herp vet in my area

okies. My vet charges 75.00 if its the first time he has seen an exotic. He does my fecal tests as part of the igs check ups. Blood Panel im not sure on. I will have to look for year old credit card statements lol. And that could take some time Each "check up" for my vet is 45.00 for an exotic. Other vets may charge more or less. I am just telling you what I pay and I live in texas and have to drive 110 miles to GET to my vet

ok,um i live in CA and i have no idea where a herp vet is do you know any way i can find one?and i wanna ask if a baby ig like 6 inches long would be ok to free roam with my 2 footer.

P.S.i am not sure if he is 3yrs., the owner said he was 2 years when i got him last july

go to www.greenigsociety.com and look for "vets" or www.anapsid.org and find melissas vet section. I would not free roam any 2 igs together no matter what their size because of the territorial instinct and the agressiveness that comes with that.
