NJ Reptile Vet

[Slicercrush]

Recently, after getting little Paarthurnax, i've found myself quite paranoid. All seems well with him currently, other than his belly being a little blushy (looks like its almost time for my first shed!) but all in all, i really, really, REALLY want to make sure he's a-ok, and have a vet settled in in the case that something does occur to him. He's settled in well now, weighing at about 150g today before his feeding. I've done my research and seen plenty of good vets around NJ, but i'm wondering, do any of you local guys have a specific vet that you have full trust in for your snakes? And what is the common price of a checkup? (Not that I can't afford it right now, I just don't have a debit card right now so i'd really prefer to use cash). Any help is greatly appreciated!

I don't have specific recommendations for vets in NJ, but this is a great resource for finding reptile vets: http://arav.site-ym.com/search/custom.asp?id=3661. Exams for exotic animals vary pretty widely and it can depend on whether or not you are seeing a reptile specialist or just a vet a regular office that has some knowledge of reptiles. You can call around and ask for exotics exam prices in your area (you should ask about fecal exam prices as well if that is not included).
