Hi Lulabee,

Thanks for contacting us. I don't think we have any vets in Teesside on our recommended vets list https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/tor ... SNl1N_TWNI, but you could check just to be sure. Those are vets that have been recommended to us by tortoise keepers, but it doesn't mean that there aren't other good reptile vets out there.

I've had a look around and found Jacqui Patterson's Vets who do treat exotics. They have three practices (Preston Farm, Hartburn and Nunthorpe), but I rang them and the only practice that has an exotics vet is the one in Preston Farm. Here is a link to the contacts page on their website: https://www.jacquipatersons.co.uk/contact/ The receptionist I spoke to said that there is currently a three-week wait for appointments. Are you in urgent need? If you do go to this vet, and you find them really good, please let us know so that we can add them to our list.

Hope that helps,
Nina
