Does anyone know of any reptile vets in central southern Idaho. I have been checking around and can't seem to find one. I have checked vet site and it listed two vets that are both 120 miles away. With winter and snow coming soon, this is just to far away. I have called several vets, but the receptionist always says that they do handle reptiles. This doesn't give me much confidence. Our normal vet's receptionist went ahead and made us an appointment for our turtle and after seeing the vet, he didn't charge us (thank goodness) because he said he knows nothing about reptiles and doesn't know anyone around who really does. Is anyone from southern Idaho, around the Twin Falls/Jerome area that can help?

Here is something that might help someone else... I talked to someone who had a skink (?), anyway he said that he tried to find a vet when his pet had a respirtory condition. No vet would help him. He ended up calling the zoo. They said that they would help him, but it was late and they could only see him the next day. His pet didn't have another day. He found out to late, but that might help someone else who is having trouble. My problem is the zoo (probably the one and only) is in the same city as the two vets that are 120 miles away.

Maybe someone knows of an online vet service for questions.

Thanks in advance for any help.
