hi guys,

Just wanted to start a thread to find out where there are reptile vets.

I have not needed one as of yet.(touch wood) but i would like to know where one is if needed.

So if you know of any good reptile vets close to you that you have used or have been recommended to you if you can post them i will try and organise a sticky as a reference place, so if you ever need one in a hurry you can find one...

cheers guys...

Does anyone know of a good reptile vet in the Lincoln/Lincolnshire or Nottingham/Nottinghamshire area?

Planning on getting them probed at a vet since the local pet shop will charge me and I would rather pay and know they job will be done by a professional than someone who might not be.

Amicus Vets in Shirley Solihull are Reptile specialists - took my lizard there a few times and they were fab - havent needed to take Sookie yet :-) And they are located on mrashall lake road which is about 1 1/2 miles from M42 J3 I think

If you're in the Midlands then these guys are really good:

Chine House Veterinary Hospital
Sileby Hall, Cossington Road
Sileby
Loughborough
Leicestershire
LE12 7RS
Tel: 01509 812446

They have one Rep specialist but he's also an enthusiast and a decent chap too! They charge £35 for a general health check. (no idea on treatment costs, touch wood I haven't needed that yet).

Strathmore Vets in Andover is very good I have my Anna corn Apollonia registered there and took her when she had a lump in her tail Although expensive it is well worth it. they have a few vets there that specialise in snakes and would not go anywhere else hope this helps for any one in the Wiltshire areas

I guess not! Just quite a lot for a skint student! lol, but then again, you can't put a price on a healthy, happy, pain free corn :) Actually hun, I've been reading a fair few of the posts and you seem pretty experienced - do you think you could take a look at my other post - one of my corns has a weird looking scale and I was wondering if it was anything to be too concerned about other than not looking particularly pretty - I have pix up

Cheers, Han xx

For the time of night, plus being rep, that's not a bad price.

Hi,

I tried to find a local vet ready for my new arrival and my local vet in Alton told me the nearest one who is recommended for reptiles is Strathmore Vets in Andover. But havent actually used them myself.

Although Kellog seems healthy and happy (despite not eating for 10 weeks) would appreciate knowing of any reptile vets nearby just in case. Am based in Reigate, surrey.

There is a reptile specialist in the 'pets at home' store on Burfields Road in Portsmouth. You'll need to register your reps with them though otherwise the fees will be even higher. Free to register.
