Make sure that you develop good communication with your veterinarian so that it would be easier for you to contact him in case your pet needs a check up or treatment. You may find your exotic pets having problems with their health. The most common illness for most exotic pets like snakes is anorexia. This is caused by factors like the husbandry where low temperature may cause exotic pets to lose their appetite. Snakes have the tendency to lessen metabolism when it is fall.
Anorexia among snakes is also caused by the low quality of food fed to them. Another reason could be the wrong way you present food to the pet. It is important that you should know the right way on how to serve the right food for your pets to make them eat well.
If anorexia isn’t properly treated, this may lead to other diseases for your exotic pet. It is important that you should have knowledge on how to give your pet good health. Here are some tips in order to keep your exotic pet healthy.
1. Make sure that you bring your snake to your community veterinarian if symptoms of lost appetite is seen.

Why did you ask your health questions here?
I’m just looking for some clarification. A lot of the health questions on here seem to be very specific, and some people are even asking questions that deal with life and death matters… Why do you turn to strangers on Yahoo! rather than a doctor or a nurse in your area?
Is health care costs too expensive just to talk to a doctor? Do you think you will find a better answer than a professional will give you?
I’m just so confused, I would hate to feel as if this was my only health information option if I were in some dire need of medical attention. What do you think?
i think what you said is true i dont trust strangers for my health questions and problems it is weird and strange i think if you have questions or problems you should ask a doctor or your parents for help

I think people sometimes need confirmation that they really DO need to see a doctor. They might also want to know what to expect, so they ask people who have been there before. I also think a lot of those life and death situations are written from posers who are just plain bored. You have to realize, this is a great place for anonymity and people abuse it by making up lives that don’t resemble their own in the slightest.
