Ive never bothered, but I supose it makes sense. Having said that, I cant think of something happening to any of mine that would require any particualy expensive treatment.

If you have the cash and are worried, then I would go for it.

i heard pet insurance is a big con anyway, coz they make you pay the vet bills out of your own pocket and then pay you like 6 months later, and apparantley they only pay a maximum of 600 pounds, if a vet bill is more than that they wont help at all. this is wht i have heard. what your better off doing is sticking money away in a jar each week and not breaking into it, so when a vet bill comes you got your own litle piggy bank inurance lol but nah pet insurance is for cats and dogs mostly anyway, never heard of any other animal

Exotic direct is the one I looked at iirc, but to be honest the piggy bank idea sounds like a better way to me.

Insurance companies always make things more long winded and difficult, just having the cash would be an easier option.

I think people with thousands of pounds invested in their collection would benefit from the insurance though. Imagine having something happen to a rare morph of Royal, could be costly to a breeder.

Be interesting to hear if Reptile-Ink has insurance if he's out there somewhere? lol.
