I only insure my business reptiles and not for vet costs - only for loss, theft etc. as part of my business policy.

I did however use exotic direct for 2 years with my parrot. It was £6 a month and there was a discount on the 2nd year for a no claims bonus

Unfortunately in the 2nd year she died, and I had to claim back for loss. I received a cheque within 7 days for the full amount of the value she was insured for in the event of death... I did have to pay for the post mortem myself.. so bear that in mind, PM was £50.. so if only insuring a snake for £50 it's not really worth it as they do not refund the PM costs. She was insured for £400 so definitely worth it.

i once looked into insurance for my boa morphs as they have quite a value to them , you can get insurance like said before for vet bills acidental death etc , but as soon as try to breed them then your insurance is void as they will not cover you for the health of the snake if you attempt to breed it
