- Biogeography of snakes in Liberia: Review and synthesis of current knowledge
Philip J. Senter, Jean‐Philippe Chippaux · Ghana Journal of Science · 2022-07 · open access
The Liberian Forest is a biodiversity hotspot. Detailed knowledge of biogeographical distributions of species could aid conservation efforts there, but such knowledge is sparse for reptiles through most of Liberia. To alleviate this, we present here a synthesis of current biogeographical knowledge…

- Cytogenetic Analysis of the Members of the Snake Genera Cylindrophis , Eryx , Python , and Tropidophis .
Charvát T, Augstenová B, Frynta D et al. · Genes · 2022-07 · open access
The recent discovery of two independently evolved XX/XY sex determination systems in the snake genera Python and Boa sparked a new drive to study the evolution of sex chromosomes in poorly studied lineages of snakes, where female heterogamety was previously assumed. Therefore, we examined seven…
- Clinical Findings and Bacterial Identification in Eight Pythons with Respiratory Disorders in Bali
Puveanthan Nagappan Govendan, Steven Dwi Purbantoro, Erika Erika et al. · jurnal veteriner · 2022-06 · open access
The study was aimed to identify bacteria associated with upper respiratory disorders in pythons. Epiglottis-tracheal swabs were collected aseptically from eight pythons (Malayopython reticulatus, Python bivittatus, and Python regius) with respiratory disorders. Common clinical signs were presented…

- A Case of Submandibular Leiomyosarcoma, Mimicking an Abscess, in a Ball Python ( Python regius ).
Kwon J, Kim SW, Kim SG et al. · Veterinary sciences · 2021-10 · open access
A two-year-old ball python with a submandibular mass was evaluated. Fine needle aspiration resulted in debris containing purulent materials and bacterial cells on cytology. Radiography demonstrated multi-focal radiopaque lesions in the mass, which were suspected to be mineralization; there was an…

- Oral Abscess Caused by Chryseobacterium indologenes in Ball Python ( Python regius ); A Case Report.
Tamai IA, Pakbin B, Kafi ZZ et al. · Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland) · 2021-06 · open access
Chryseobacterium indologenes is an opportunistic pathogen isolated from human infections and, rarely, from some aquatic animals. A 3-year-old male ball python ( Python regius ) was admitted to the veterinary clinic by a pet owner because of acute respiratory and swallowing failure. During physical…
- Animal-appropriate housing of ball pythons (Python regius)-Behavior-based evaluation of two types of housing systems.
Hollandt T, Baur M, Wöhr AC · PloS one · 2021-05 · open access
Introduction The ball python ( Python regius ) has been a popular terrarium-housed exotic pet for more than 30 years. In Europe and North America, it is frequently bred, but also imports of wild snakes or farmed breeds are commercially available. Due to the various breeding goals (coloration,…

Tillis SB, Iredale ME, Childress AL et al. · Frontiers in veterinary science · 2021-01 · open access
Introduction The captive reptile trade is a large and diverse market within the United States. Over 4.7 million households hold 13.6 million pet reptiles, comprising a market with annual revenues of over a billion dollars. Among captive reptiles, ball pythons (Python regius) have become one of the…
