Moving to Chicago and need a good Herp Vet ASAP!

I posted previously about my ball who I am having trouble with eating. I also have a sick leopard gecko. Can anyone recommend a good and reasonably price vet in the Chicagoland area. Thanks for the help!

You can try VCA Noyes on Route 14 in Barrington- 847-381-1920. I know they have a great facility and have added an "exotic species" vet that is well-versed in herps.

Midwest Bird & Exotic Animal Hospital in Westchester, IL I've taken adult pythons there before. 708-344-8166

You can always find herp vets at www.arav.org
Dr. Byron de la Navarre at Animal House of CHicago is awesome. He works very well with exotics and is in the city's north side. Call at 773-878-8002.

I live by Midwest Exotic and drive the distance to Animal House.
I feel it is worth the drive. Just my thoughts.
