And we won't know what is causing the problem until Tuesday which means MORE vet bills.

Re: Ouch! - This hurt!
Now that is what I call extreme price gouging! Nothing like the free market at work  |

Yep. Only vet within 100 miles that will even look at a snake.

Re: Ouch! - This hurt!
$250+ is about what we pay but our vet is worth it. He sold me when I had to bring in my water monitor and he said if she is too dangerous to work on, I will not charge you. That honesty and willingness to lose fingers is hard to find.

This one would add some crazy surcharge if I brought in a potentially agressive animal.
They give NO price breaks at all. I once brought in 10 snakes at a time for a routine checkup since they were new CH babies. I was going to be charged the $63 exam fee for EACH snake. You want to see an irate client! That was me. I was fuming since they never mentioned the fee per snake would apply until I was there. I walked out and said forget it. I'll wait until a problem appears before I spend that kind of money on a basic exam.
