- A fixed moderate-dose combination of tiletamine+zolazepam outperforms midazolam in induction of short-term immobilization of ball pythons (Python regius).
Miller LJ, Fetterer DP, Garza NL et al. · PloS one · 2018-10 · open access
Laboratory animals are commonly anesthetized to prevent pain and distress and to provide safe handling. Anesthesia procedures are well-developed for common laboratory mammals, but not as well established in reptiles. We assessed the performance of intramuscularly injected tiletamine (dissociative…

- Monitoring the reproductive activity in captive bred female ball pythons (P. regius) by ultrasound evaluation and noninvasive analysis of faecal reproductive hormone (progesterone and 17β-estradiol) metabolites trends.
Bertocchi M, Pelizzone I, Parmigiani E et al. · PloS one · 2018-06 · open access
The royal python (Python regius) is commonly bred in captivity. To have a successful breeding season, accurate monitoring of the reproductive activity is necessary. The use of non-invasive monitoring methods in exotics is important in order to minimize stress. For this purpose ultrasound has been…

- Respiratory disease in ball pythons (Python regius) experimentally infected with ball python nidovirus.
Hoon-Hanks LL, Layton ML, Ossiboff RJ et al. · Virology · 2018-01 · open access
Circumstantial evidence has linked a new group of nidoviruses with respiratory disease in pythons, lizards, and cattle. We conducted experimental infections in ball pythons (Python regius) to test the hypothesis that ball python nidovirus (BPNV) infection results in respiratory disease. Three ball…

- Pet snakes illegally marketed in Brazil: Climatic viability and establishment risk.
Fonseca É, Solé M, Rödder D et al. · PloS one · 2017-08 · open access
Invasive species are one among many threats to biodiversity. Brazil has been spared, generically, of several destructive invasive species. Reports of invasive snakes' populations are nonexistent, but the illegal pet trade might change this scenario. Despite the Brazilian laws forbid to import most…

- Occurrence of the mite Ophionyssus natricis (Acari: Macronyssidae) on captive snakes from Panama
Roberto Julio Miranda, John Cleghorn, Sergio E. Bermúdez et al. · Acarologia · 2017-04 · open access
We report for the first time the presence of the snake mite, Ophionyssus natricis (Gervais) (Mesostigmata: Macronyssidae) on captive snakes kept in Panama City, Panama. This occurrence adds a new record to the geographical distribution of O. natricis as well as confirming its high prevalence on…
