Hey Alisha.....There are alot of good reptile vets that also see cats & Dogs and many other animals~ Rocko's vet did not see only reptiles~ But he was a specialist~ I could tell he knew what he was doing after talking with him~ where as my reg cat vet is great but he knew very little and was smart enough to know his limitations~ That vet on that list is more likely than not way better than your other vet~ I think sometimes you just have to go in and talk to the vet and see what kind of feeling you get from there knowledge and if you have faith in them. I know that Dr. williams did all he could for Rocko~ You need to call and ask many questions! Also ask to talk to the vet or if he is to busy have him call you back~ Once you talk to him and ask him how experienced he is with reptiles you will get a much better answer than with the receptionaist~ As My reg vet told me right away he had little expierence~ Where as his receptionist seemed to think he was an expert!~ So ask lots of questions~ Good luck with Zila~
