Julie,
Oh,
he's totally healthy except that he's only interested in crickets lately (he
used to be on mealworms). But he hasn't seen a vet since I've had him
(possibly ever) and I'd just like to make sure there's nothing going on that I'd
miss. I'm definitely an overprotective gecko mom. It's also nice to
know that if he does have a health issue down the road I'll have someone that
I'm comfortable with to take him to. I'm also going to add a couple of
females to the family in a month or so, and I want to make sure I have a healthy
environment for them to come to (not that they'll go right in with him at first
anyway).
Thanks
for the ARAV link, it looks like I have lots of
choices.

Hi Jessica,
What is the health issue if
you don't mind sharing? We all learn here by sharing this kind of stuff and
the solutions we come up with to resolve health issues. I am not familiar with
vets in that area, I usually refer folks to the ARAV (Association of Reptilian
and Amphibian Veterinarians )website to select a non-domestic vet in their
area.

Best
of luck!

Could someone point me in the direction of a list of herp vets that

need to find a vet to a routine checkup for my leo, and I'd rather
not just open the yellow pages, close my eyes, and point. Or perhaps
the Maryland/DC suburb folks could pass on some names?
