    Re: Atlanta GA reptile vet in need

    I ended up taking her to two different vets. One I got an appt with while I awaited recommendations, the other is "loving hands" over in Alpharetta. I also arranged (but didn't complete) a phone consultation with a VA vet whom Justin Kobylka recommended.
    I have been to For Pet's sake and seen Hutchinson before for my boas. I have gotten supplies from them a bunch too. Other than him being much further from me, I had an experience there which I don't want to get into, but ultimately I felt more comfortable with these other two places I went to. Though I would go to him again and wouldn't recommend against him, so please don't read that last line as such.
    The verdict from the vets were the same and it isn't the greatest result. She would require surgery. Dr. Martinez of Loving Hands gave a hormones shot and drained the eggs trying to get them to go on there own, basically trying to avoid surgery. We are now torn as we cannot afford surgery, but don't want to put her down as she is one of my first ball pythons from when I first got into balls, so we are waiting to decide where to go from here.
    Thanks for the info!!!!!!!!
