This paper reviews the literature on growth in reptiles. The current consensus is that growth data for small and medium-sized reptiles are best fitted by logistic-by-mass equations, data for larger reptiles by the von Bertalanffy equation. Experiments on the relationships between behavioural thermoregulation, food consumption and growth in both the ...

Although basic notions, such as life expectancy, and thus what constitutes old age, remain to be determined in the vast majority of reptile species, there is a tendency at least for captive reptiles to live longer now than in the past. Clinicians are expected to recognize signs of senescence or old age in reptile patients, to acquire a heightened index

Like in fishes, the reptiles appear to show three types of senescence. The African skink, Mabuya buettneri, shows rapid senescence similar to death at mating observed in Salmon and marsupial mouse. Most of the lizards and snakes undergo gradual senescence comparable to the pattern exhibited by a majority of vertebrates.

Venomous reptiles are distributed in select habitats in temperate and tropical areas of the world with few geographical exceptions, and have adapted to not only terrestial existence, but to arboreal and aquatic environments as well. Venomous snakes are found in the families Colubridae (fixed and rear fanged snakes), Elapidae (fixed and front fang ...

Reptiles (lizards, snakes, turtles and crocodylians) are becoming increasing popular as models for developmental investigations. In this review the leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius, is presented as a reptilian model for embryonic studies. We provide details of husbandry, breeding and modifications to two popular histological techniques (whole ...

Cardiovascular disease in reptiles generally is considered an uncommon finding in captive animals, but no large-scale, cross-sectional studies have been performed to determine its prevalence. It is possible that cardiovascular disease is more common than is generally accepted and that the current belief results from limited clinical and diagnostic ...

Successful reptile anesthesia requires patience, planning, and understanding of normal anatomy and physiology in health and disease. Reptiles make good anesthetic patients because of their physiologic resilience. New drugs that are not only safe and efficacious, but also result in relatively short recovery times, have greatly enhanced the design of ...

Reptile perinatology refers to the time period surrounding hatching for oviparous species, and immediately after birth for viviparous species. Veterinarians working in myriad conservation and breeding programs require knowledge in this area. This article reviews anatomy and physiology of the amniotic egg, the basics of artificial incubation, when ...

In the Triassic, change came: the archosaurs or ruling reptiles appeared, and many of the mammal-like beasts became extinct. Perhaps today’s most familiar large carnivorous reptile is the crocodile. One of the diversions of geological field work in Africa is to sit hidden on a river bank, very still, and watch for what are locally called ‘flat dogs’ or,
