Unfortunatly my baby Columbian Rainbow Boa passed away yesterday, i want to get an autopsy done to make sure she has nothing infectious that could have been passed to my other snakes, does anybody know of any vets that will perform autopsys on reptiles in north devon? Thanks

Spoken to Simon - quoted over £100 (about £85 for autopsy + courier) can't really afford that does anyone know where i can get one done cheaper???

Yep, cost about that much to get Duke, our 3yo Bearded Dragon PM'd.

Just package it well with icepacks preferably and send it to them, drop him an email to let him now it is coming. If you want a written PM I think it costs (don't know how much exactly) but if an email with cause of death is all you want I believe it is free.
He is trying to create a Centre of Excellence at Liverpool University so is willing to do PM's on the cheap or for free to collate evidence and notes I believe.
