For many people with reptiles especially Terrapins/Turtles will find it very hard to find a vet that specialises in these kinds of animals. Vets will be happy to help any animal due to the course of the job. However, a lot of vets do not specialise in Terrapins/Turtles due to the lack of knowledge and the laws about the non-native species. As there are so many different Terrapins/Turtles a lot of people get confused. Sometimes they may advise you to do something or provide equipment or treatment that may not actually be the very best for the animal. People with reptiles will also see that the prices for a vet are very high compared to other animals as these are more exotic which involves more knowledge and specialties.
