From what I’ve managed to read about them, they seem very knowledgeable and on the phone they recommended what u have said by getting a critter keeper, but if I was really worried to come in for the exam. The place in question is called The Serpentarium and they seem to have pretty good reviews and respond to the bad ones in a civil manner so I hope I’m not making the wrong choice by going through with the exam. I couldn’t afford a vet bill with my current financial situation but I’ve read about warm baths with honey/unflavored Pedialyte mixed in the water and other things like that. I also found mold yesterday which I freaked out about until I discovered it was normal but I went a head and removed it. Wish me luck lol and thanks again
