Here a visit to the vet has a basic cost of £20,plus the price of drugs,medical exams...I once paid £50 for a gerbil with a wounded eye,i was given this gerbil by a pet shop assistant as she had been attacked by another and bitten on the face.X-ray photos for geckos are like £30.

Default How much for vets?

I usually pay £25.00 for vet consult for my cat or for my lizzies. Any meds are on top of this. She is not a herp specialist but the practice is an RCVS (Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons) accredited small animal practice. They have been very good with my little ones.
I suspect vet fees will vary from district to district.

My vet charges me £15 for a consultation. Dosen't matter how many of my herps i take with me, half an hour is what I pay for not how many animals he looks at. Like i say thats just a consultation, treatment will obviously varey if and where needed... Oh, and yes he is a highly qualified Herp vet from South Africa..
