As far as I can tell the chips we use have only been around 30 years total. I'd also be willing to bet that the frequency and technology has changed quite a few times over that period making it necessary to use a different reader for each change.
Oh... I love the idea... 'we've been doing it that way forever... why change it'.

At the recent presentation by Sharon Redrobe given at the BCG spring symposium, she mentioned as I recall that micro chip had been recovered in the bladder of a Med Tortoise. Lord only knows, how it got there?
I hope, individual keepers do take account that in the UK the administration of such a device is an invasive procedure and should be done by Veterinary qualified practitioner
