Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

A few years ago I wanted to bring in fecals on a 10 lot of CH babies. They appeared healthy and in fact where but I thought being safe wouldn't hurt.
Yeah right. I was told it would be $650 for that.  Forget it. That was supposed to be the discounted price (I would only pay an exam fee per snake).

Alicia,
How about we start a business like "poop r us"? We ship you the samples you charge $30, make 100% on investment, and guys like Steve pay 1/3 of what they are paying currently paying? What do you say?

It varies around here - some won't take just a fecal without seeing the animal (and I won't go to them). I have been following the same vet around for years...where she is now WILL let me just bring samples in. The place she used to work wouldn't (which sucks, because they are close)

That's how it is here. They need to see the animal (which means there is an office visit fee).

My vet is one of the only reptile vets around and since he doesn't see many reps (guess it's because people don't bring em in because I know tons of people around here have reps) he cuts me a great deal and doesn't charge for visits... I know I'm lucky... I think he likes to freak the staff out when I pull Max out in the office.. Hey, I take what I can get!!

Best book on the face of the planet: Klingenberg's "Understanding Reptile Parasites". Not overpriced, uses layman language, and has lots of photos. Even has drug doseage charts for treating various parasite types.

 Personally, that was among the first pieces of equipment when I got started. Picked up the book first and then got the microscope. Got the VET book (you know that big book that has EVERYTHING in it? (forgive my short memory..the book is home and I am at work).
Glad things worked out Alicia!!
