    Please do use the ARAV link above to see if there is a reptile veterinarian in your area. Even if there is not, you can try to set up a telephone consult with one (just offer to pay for it like a regular appointment).
    I'm glad to know that (at least in some areas?) they're "gaining" on this issue. As you said though, not a guarantee.
