What should I bring to an exotic vet appointment?

Transport your pet in a secure, temperature-controlled carrier suited to its species, such as a ventilated plastic tub with a heating pad for reptiles or a covered travel cage for birds. Bring fresh fecal samples, a summary of their daily diet, and photos or video of their home enclosure setup.
