It also helps when choosing a reptile vet to see if the vet is a hobbyist him or herself. My vet who is also a friend, but became a friend after I met him, has been a long time snake breeder and enthusiast. He ran the exotic animal hospital, while his wife is involved in the general practice. Now that his wife became equal partner in the general practice my vet friend decided to become a stay at home dad, and now raises feeder rodents, roaches and breeds snakes with his business partner and is never at a loss for clients to get his rodents, esp with the Carolina Raptor Center close buy. I trust his advice most because HE IS A BREEDER and hobbyist, and thus he does to his own stock what he tells me to do. The point being, look for more factors than just the person saying they are a herp or exotic animal vet- see if they are a hobbyist as well and look at their stock and see how THEIR stuff is doing.
