Hello Unchikun,
I know both Sam Rivera and Steve Hernandez-Divers personally, and both are excellent reptile vets. Unfortunately, Sam is no longer in private practice full time as you know, but still works one Saturday a month at his old office. You could check to see when he will be there next.

I can also save you some time regarding learning how to make an appt. at the Univ. of GA Vet Clinic. You can schedule an appointment for yourself (without need of a referral from your private vet) by calling 706.542.3221. Steve is the head of the Exotics department and rotates through the student clinic every two weeks or so. Make an appt. in the Exotics clinic when he is the supervising vet in the clinic. Your case will be assigned to a student since it is a teaching hospital, but the student will answer to Dr. Divers and will treat the animal according to his recommendations and advice.

The school is very easy to reach off of the highway in Athens and has its own free parking area right in front of the clinic entrance. If you want more info, just email me privately and I will help you.
