Does anyone know of a good website to check for local vets that specialize in reptiles? Or, if anyone happens to be in central Ohio and knows a good vet...

ARAV is the Associate of Reptile and Amphibian Vets. You might be able to find a vet near you by using their website, www.ARAV.com I have to warn you that just because a vet is listed as a reptile vet, it doesn't mean that they know what they are doing I used ARAV to loacte two "reptile" vets, one was very good, the other didn't have a clue. The latter vet used a pair of forceps to test my Iguanas reflexes by pinching her toe. She turned around and bit the idiot. So her reflexes as well as her instincts are good.

there is a vet-finder site (see link below) that has posting by state from real folks - like us. Not every state is listed so also go to link in my sig (cham resources) which has some listing

Sorry about the really late reply on this, but I live in Columbus Ohio so I might be able to help. I take mine to Animal Care unlimited off Sawmill Rd. They seem to be OK, not my favorite, but the only game in town. Hope this helps!
