Detection of Mycoplasma spp. from snakes from five different families [PDF]
BMC Veterinary ResearchBackground Mycoplasmas are an important cause of respiratory diseases in tortoises. In snakes, evidence of mycoplasma infections has been found almost exclusively in pythons.

Identifying Infectious Agents in Snakes (Boidae and Pythonidae) with and Without Respiratory Disease. [PDF]
Animals (Basel)Mycoplasmas are known respiratory pathogens in tortoises, but few studies exist in snakes. To better understand the correlation with clinical signs and co-infections, samples from mycoplasma-positive snakes with and without clinical respiratory disease were analyzed.

Chemosensory age discrimination in the snake Boa constrictor (Serpentes: Boidae)
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012 Many snakes are able to use their chemosensory system to detect scent of conspecifics, which is important in many social contexts. Age discrimination based on chemical cues may be especially important to ensure access to sexually mature potential ...

An Overlooked Habitat-Dependent Link Between Metabolism and Water Loss in Reptiles. [PDF]
Integr ZoolWe measured the gas exchange of six lizard and six snake species, under high and low air humidity, and two intriguing patterns emerged. First, although desert species lose less water via evaporation than similar‐sized mesic species under similar conditions, water loss is virtually the same when each is exposed to its natural conditions.

When to shed? Patterns and drivers of time to first ecdysis in snakes. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We assessed patterns in time to postnatal ecdysis in snake species, and related measures to various biological traits. Time to postnatal ecdysis can be shorter or longer than the ancestral state, which we estimated at 8–9 days, indicating that there are several competing drivers for time to postnatal ecdysis.

Mycoplasma spp. in captive snakes (Boa constrictor and Bothrops atrox) from Brazil [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2020 : Although rare, mycoplasmas are included among the causes of respiratory diseases in reptiles and, in the order Squamata, three reports of these microorganisms causing diseases in pythons have already been reported.
