With the help of the international veterinary community the following is just a small example of the cases that have been seen by reptile vets around the world.
Dr Shane Simpson is well known amongst the reptile keeping community as “The Reptile Doctor”. He is a director of The Unusual Pet Vets - a group of exotic only practices with four locations across Australia.
With nearly 20 years of experience in the field, he regularly presents on the topic of reptile and amphibian medicine and surgery to fellow veterinarians, veterinary nurses and reptile keepers both here in Australia and internationally.
In addition, he has contributed to several veterinary text books, held positions on animal ethics committees and does a considerable amount of work training wildlife rehabilitators about caring for injured reptiles.
