Author: The Royal Veterinary College October 20, 2017 Duration: 26:24

Today we talk to Jo Hedley, Lecturer in Exotic species and small mammal medicine and surgery here at the RVC about an approach to dealing with reptiles. What do you do if someone brings you in a bearded dragon, or a corn snake. Well discuss an approach to dealing with these cases when they come in your door.
