In all my years I have met exactly one good reptile vet. In my opinion, if you are going to keep reptiles you have to change your way of thinking. Thier bodies and brains do not react or the same way a mammal's does. I spent a lot of time learning reptile biology. I am by no means an expert but I know more about the animals I keep than most vets I have encountered. The only time I will use a vet now adays is if I have to have certain test run. I am lucky though. I have access to a lot of medical equipment.
Love them or hate them Nerd has quite a few good vids on reptile care, behavior, and treatment. Watch, read books and learn. That is 90% of the fun for me.
