Thanks for the mention Tom! Not only do we see a large number of reptiles on a daily basis but we’re trying to get the word out that Arbor View Animal Hospital is now accepting (native to the USA) venomous snakes as patients. Our client base is 38% exotic pets (most clinics that see exotic pets have a caseload that is <10% of their clients) and all of our veterinarians are passionate about exotic pet medicine.
