The list of possibilities is as long for reptiles as it is for mammals. The most common reason for pet herps to seizure is a lack of calcium; often related to a poor diet. Other differentials in no particular order may include tumor, toxicity, and trauma.
Go to herpvetconnection and/or www.arav.com to find a reptile vet in your area. ALso call around for referals from those non-herp vets that you've already contacted.
Good luck!
