Do you need to bring them in like for check ups like you do dogs or just when they are having health problems? Also what kind of vet do you look for? Strcitly just a reptile vet or?

Generally, other than that, they don't really need to have any intervention from a vet, unless they are ill, or have any sort of injuries/ailments. Make sure it is specifically a well qualified herp vet, otherwise, you may end up getting completely the wrong advice.
