despite the vet advertising treating reptiles. she obivously knew nothing about herps, when i told her she hadnt eaten for over 3 months she stop short of calling me a liar but told me that was impossable she would have died after a month of not eating. then preceded to tell me that she wasnt eating because i had no uv lighting and that i needed to get rid of the undertank heater(after i explained what it was) and get rid of her tile and get uv lighting and something she can borrow in. in addition to that if she doesnt get better in a week or two she wants to do xrays for impactions from meal worms, depsite the fact she still goes to the bathroom. Only good side of the visit was the conformation of a mouth infection that i noticed before going, she got a shot, and is suppose to get two more. thou i think ill be looking for a new vet, i dont trust a vet treating a animal they know nothing about.
