For anyone here with reptiles like bearded dragons, leopard geckos, ball pythons, boa constrictors, and others, how much do you end up spending on vet bills? Just wondering about your experiences and costs.
An appointment usually costs about $100-150. It only gets really expensive when something goes wrong.

What exotic pet do you have?
I’ve never had to take any of my reptiles to the vet, but I had a White’s tree frog for 4 years. It ended up costing me around 4000 euros in vet bills.
My ball python had sepsis once, which cost me $1,000 for exams, shots, and follow-ups. Normally, reptiles don’t need much, but if something serious happens, it can get expensive.
It’s rare for me to take them to the vet, but I probably spend about 5k a year. Keep in mind, I have a lot of reptiles.
