Reptile & Amphibian Forums

i was paging thru my REPTILES magazines last night(well it was really like 3am..but whatever! ) and i came across an ad for midwest tongs. it said stuff about lab equipment and that if you perform your own fecal tests how it can save time and money, which made sense. since i have quite a large collection of herps and i am beggining my breeding projects soon i figured it would be a good investment but i dont really know how much it would initioally cost becuase they dont have the prices on there site. and i also am looking forward to going to college for exotic animal and herpetoculture veterinary once i get out of high school( sigh still got 4 years 2 go!) but if anyone has any idea where i could get the equipment for a resonable price it would be appreciated. thanks

At home facal tests are really dont save money at all....just get a good vet that has experience with reptiles. I go to a small and exotic animal vet and for fecal tests they only charge me ten bucks an animal, get the parents tested and if theyre clean you dont have to worry about much else, just test every animal you buy, or buy them from reputable breeders. Unless of course you like playing with animal feces
