I have two snakes that are not eating. I live in Killeen between Austin and Waco. How can I find a vet with experience? Is there some site that has a list? Thanks

How about a general stab at our input first? It's free. Tell us a little about the snakes. Wild caught, captive bred? The kinds of snakes, your caging arrangements, a visual inspection of the animals, last time they ate, all those kinds of details.

If you got to Digitalherper.com he has a link to all the Reptile Vets across the US plus notes of who is recommended by people who have used them.
The snakes are male and female. I bought them earlier this year. They ate well at first but have not eaten in seven weeks. Both snakes share a cage with another snake. All cages are kept at 83 degrees with a nightly drop to about 78. I have offered all size mice but they show no interest. Yesterday I bought Electolize and put it in their water (they share a cage now). I am hoping it will encourage them to eat.
Thanks for the interest and help.

they are probably too stressed to eat. Snakes are not good cage mates with one another. and can stress out easily. try placing each one in their own houses for a few weeks and see if they will eat when alone.... i bet they would
