I can't find any vet insurance for reptiles but according to there website these guys will insure anything from cattle to killer whales lol might be worth a shot.

I'd be very surprised if they'll offer cover for veterinary problems for reptiles - they'll cover things like theft and fire death. The cost will be high.

That's what I got from there site, death, theft and such, I'm interested to know why no one offers vet cover for herps. My border collie has had more vet visits than all my herps combined, surely cats and dogs would be a higher risk to insure than a snake that's virtually quarantined from disease and never exposed to road traffic.

Thanks heaps guys for you help, i guess i will just be footing the bills lol. Its a little weird that there is no insurance for our pets as they are becoming increasingly popular.

Not popular enough to warrant Insurance.
My enclosures are covered under my home and contents but no luck with the animals themselves.
