Sonya - I've got the name of a great herp vet in Marietta if you find that you don't feel your vet is as knowledgeable with herps as you'd like.
I can also sex for you as well. I have one vet that I use for fecal tests and just general wellness, but he can't sex a snake to save his life. I have another vet who's more of a specialist for anything beyond general wellness.
I also had a diabetic cat who I lost last year (to old age).
