makes my stomach ache. If I were in that situation I would have contacted the breeder to see if there is any possible explanation (maybe the same thing is happening in his/her collection). As Andy said most vets are very disappointing and are in fact very inexperienced with reptiles. Vets are only offered seminars on reptile care and as far as I am concerned 90% percent of them are for lack of better terms idiot’s when it comes to reptile care in general. Why your vet did what he/she did is beyond me and is very unacceptable in my opinion; why should animals (any animal) have to endure something that would cause any Doctor to lose their license is beyond me. I also would probably be incarcerated at the state hospital after going through what you lived through.

Remember the glass is half full and learn from your experience, we all have had similar situations as hobbyists and need to learn from life’s mishaps. I am very sorry for your loss and hope the future has better things in store for you.
