Another good way is to simply call all the local Vets and ask if they have a reptile experienced Vet on staff.
Vets often move around from one clinic to another. So lists aren't always current, neither are Facebook pages, etc. If you are lucky enough to live in a area that has a actual Vet or Clinic that caters to Exotics its easier. But many live in areas that do not.
Currently I only have one single Vet that is experienced with Reptiles within easy driving distance (45 mins). He works at a regular Vet clinic and people with reptiles have to request an appointment with him, as there are 3 other Vets working there.
Back when I lived in Savannah I had the most awesome Vet ever. He was wonderful with my reptiles, which was a good thing, because back then I did rescue and had to take quite a few animals to him. He always discussed each case with me, educated me, let me see everything through the microscope, etc. He was also great with the animals, had a real passion for them and for helping them. Such a Vet is worth their weight in gold.
So far I haven't had to take a single animal (reptile) to the Vet since moving here 10 year ago (knock on wood). I hope that Vet that is around here is a good one. There really aren't many options around where I am. Most likely I would have to drive 2 hours+ to have more options.
