I cannot imagine why a reptile vet would need to send out a fecal float and direct smear. Are you sure they weren't talking about a fecal culture? (completely different and not what you want). I live in the Bay Area in California and our prices are about as high as you can get and a fecal float and direct smear cost about $40.00 at my clinic (thank God I do my own ). I don't think the clinic you called knew what you were asking for. And for your other question I would never trust a pet store to do a fecal test on one of my animals.
