Default Pet insurance?

I have a boa and 2 leopard gecko's and was wondering if its possible to get them insured?

I'm just worried about if they got ill and we couldn't afford the vets bills.

Thanks

Just keep in mind that there are things that Exotics Direct won't cover - damage from other pets, breeding related issues (and that includes egg binding in a female that has never been near a male) and so on...

It does seem expensive. But, and there always is one.

One of my cats got all poorly recently, so off to the vet we go (No Insurance) Two visits and £300 later, she's better. So think about it. We used to have as a reasonably inexpensive service which is now a just another part of rip off Britain.

Oh yeah, although my cat got better, they couldn't tell me what was wrong.

I'm thinking about getting insurance for my new baby Royal when it comes, probably wont be a great deal less than your quote.

I just got quoted £86 for the year for a baby Royal Python. Seems ok. Anyone had cheaper?
