How does one locate a vet for their snek?
So as I'm reading about the various things here, I run across several threads involving vets and realize that I live in BFE Maine and have absolutely no idea where the closest snek vet is. Boston is 5 hours away so I know they would have several but up here, who knows? I have two Australian Shepherds so am familiar with the routine but have no idea what to ask to make sure they actually know what they're doing. Also, what is the best way to search for a reptile vet? TIA

I called the animal hospital near me and they gave me the number for an exotic vet in their area, so I guess also my area-ish, that sees snakes. But I live in BFE so nothing is really in my "area" lol
I keep calling my 5mo normal, Twig, a "he", but I plan on making an appointment after Christmas to get "him" sexed to know for sure. But "he" feels like a boy in my heart lmao I'm too excited about it lol

Oh, i didnt read your whole post, sorry, but to add, I'd read threw the reviews on the vet online or asking around about that vets office if you can, that's just something I do for all my animals exotic or not when vet shopping, also making an appointment and experiencing that vet yourself if you cant find reviews. Trial and error. I've gone to countless vets because I didnt care for them for even things like bedside manners (not to just me as an owner but for my pet) till I found one I liked. These are the general guidelines to vet shopping I personally go by for all my animals (mostly dogs) like I said in my last reply, I'm working on getting my snake in one after xmas sooooo.
