Cost of Vet Visits?

[HoomanSlave]

I'm getting a beardie in a few months. I have to pay for all of it myself. I have worked out how much I need for supplies and the dragon himself, but I'm curious on how much to save for vet visits and if I can even afford to keep a beardie. How much do y'all typically spend on:
-MBD treatment
-Mouth/tail rot treatment
-Burns, cuts, fractures, etc
-Impaction
-Parasites
-Infections, abscesses, etc
-Anything else I forgot

Hard to say I think. Each vet may charge differently. Hopefully your beardy never has issues, as well. I know with my juvenile, Seymore, I racked up a $465.00 bill in a matter of 2 weeks when he got sick. That included 2 local reptile visits and a visit to a specialist. I'd suggest maybe setting aside a few hundred each year for wellness checks anyway. I only had Seymore a short time and Dexter hasn't had his first wellness check yet, but I'm planning on setting aside a few hundred each year just for wellness checks and adding to the account when I can for any emergencies that may arise. Wish I could provide more help.

Thanks! I'll aim for maybe $400 saved for the vet before I buy my beardie, and continue saving more after.
