Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I need help finding a vet in WV.
This may be a long shot but I might as well try.
Can anyone recommend a herp vet in WV. Does one even exist in this state?
Please do not give me results from a google search. I have searched and found so called herp vet databases and have called all the vets listed for WV and all of them turned me down and most of them the number no longer even belonged to a vets office. I did come across an official looking database and there was nothing listed under WV.
My current vet will see reptiles at the cost of an arm and a leg ($179 for just playing with my corn snake. Took it to be sexed. At that time I did not know how. Neither did they but they sure did charge me!). They admitted to me they do not know anything about herps but would contact other vets for advice on how to treat things they didn't have experience with.
Personally if possible I would rather go to someone that does have some experience with herps. Not just reptiles. I need a vet that knows about amphibians too if possible.

How far are you willing to travel? My herp vet when I lived there is in Bridgeport, WV. She's not advertised as one, but together we accomplished some great stuff and I still talk to her. Heck, we're trying to get her to come out and visit, we miss her that much.

Thank you! It's 2 hours away. I was willing to go anywhere in WV. If I couldn't find anyone in WV I would even go out of state if I really had too. No one in my collection is sick.
However I do have some WC imported frogs that I would like to get tested and treated for parasites and any diseases before allowing them out of quarantine.
What is the clinic's and/or vet's name?

You want Dr. Linner. Tell her I sent you.
I'm not sure if she's worked with phibs before, but there's no harm in calling to ask. She's the resident exotics person, and is very easy to work with. They also don't tend to charge an arm and a leg for in-house stuff.
