    know a good site for finding good herp vets?

    Hi, I don't know what's wrong with her but I need to take my snake to the vet. and I'm NOT going to the one I took her last time, I don't think he knew what he was doing, I had taken her in because her tail looked funny and this was shortly after I got her and she is my first and thus far only snake. I thought it was scale rot, and the doc just have me medicine for scale rot, I applied as told and then about a month later the tip of her tail fell off, apparently the last owner hadn't been keeping the humidity high enough (they told me to keep it between 30-40% -_-') well she had bad sheds that cut off the circulation, at least that's what I've come to understand.

    Any how, Does anyone know a good vet or a site where I can find a good vet, I live in Tremonton Utah and am more than willing to drive all the way out to SLC in order to take her to a good Herp vet.

    PLEASE HELP!

    Thank you for your help, I was able to find a doctor even closer than I expected. can I ask you another question, when taking your reptiles to thhe vet what do you use as a transportation case? where its so far away and theres already something wrong I dont want to add anything on top of the problem.

    Rubbermaid tub lined with paper towel or a towel works. Failing that a pillowcase tied off is just fine.

    For transport I put mine in a snake bag, then put the bag in a tub. My husband had a snake pop the lid off a tub in-transit on the interstate, which made life... interesting. Using both is also nice in the winter for trips, as you can put a heat pack in the tub to help keep the snake warm.

    LOL...yes, moving again! I'm getting too old for this...stuff! But luckily I'm nearing the end of the ordeal now, and almost settled in without too much drama or broken goods.
