: Good for you! For me, the worst of it is the teasing you have to endure..."You're taking your LIZARD to the vet??? And there's nothing WRONG with it?".

: But for money - here's my experience at two different vets'

: Vet 1:
: Lizard 1 emergency fee; 1 - check-up; oxytocin (to induce egg laying); 1 - X-ray; 1 hysterectomy with all the drugs etc that go with it and hospital stay -- was approximately $275.

: Vet 2:
: Three lizards had exams; two of them had fecals, one had x-rays and vitamin B shots; deworming medicine for two. Cost: $75 -- discount for multilples at once LOL?
: This vet normally charges $30 for an exam.

: Now I do live in Canada (BC) and have converted to US dollars ... but I think you people in the US pay more for vet fees? I have noticed a big discrepency in the amounts charged by various vets in the various posts here.

: I guess that means your best bet would be to phone a few close by and see what they charge. But whatever it is, it is a bargain! And remember, ask some pertinent questions first!! For example, him/her what they recommend you feed your iguana, and other husbandry questions.

: Best of luck!
