i have finally found time to rpobe sheba i found a vet to do it and he will also give her a check up for like 25 bucks should i do this or try to find a trader or what
thanks
 
I'd say it would depend on the age of the snake. Even somebody most definitely experienced I wouldn't allow to probe one of my hatchling snakes with all the horror stories and mishaps I've read of.

I'd pop it if it's young enough, or wait'll it's grown up a lil bit.
 
yes

Make sure the vet is experienced.

If he is, then I would say definitly go for it! 25 bucks is nothing! And think of the piece of mind you woudl get. Although, I can't say I believe "check-ups" on snakes can show a vet more than they could anyone else, unless they include fecals/ bloodwork. A snake is a snake, and most anyone can tell if they are sick from the outside, thats why most people do not take snakes for "6 months checkups" or yearly, aside from fecals. But I would pay 25 for that since you are getting it probed.
