Sadly this is a poor vet. You are better off with a vet whom admits they have limited knowledge but will look and work WITH you to help solve problems together. Often the doctorate degree makes people feel like they are an expert even when they are not, also often they will disregard experience of the owner / enthusiast. I would drive around to some local vets (no animals) and ask to speak with the vets and let them know you are looking for a new vet and ask about their willingness to work with you to sole issues with the snakes. If you cannot find a reputable exotic vet. There are too many horror stories from vets trying to help when they have no idea of what is going on.
