- Feeder insects differ in passage of coccidian oocysts in captive reptiles.
Berec M, Totušková G, Žahourek J et al. · Parasitology · 2025-11 · open access
Coccidia (Apicomplexa) may have a devastating effect on captive reptiles, particularly chameleons and bearded dragons ( Pogona vitticeps ). This study investigated the potential of three common feeder insects - the Argentine cockroach ( Blaptica dubia ), the banana cricket ( Gryllus assimilis ) and…

- Multiple diagnostic modalities are appropriate for detecting Nannizziopsis guarroi in experimentally infected bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps)
Amanda D. Wong, Laura A. Adamovicz, Jacob P. Dalen et al. · Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science · 2025-09 · open access
Introduction Nannizziopsis guarroi causes mycotic dermatitis, colloquially known as “yellow fungus disease”, in lizards. Several fungal diagnostic assays may detect this microbe in clinical cases, but the clinical performance of these assays has yet to be explored. Methods Six adult bearded dragons…
- Comparative Sonographic Studies of the Urogenital Tract in Lizards.
Klützow NB, Schmidt V · Veterinary radiology & ultrasound : the official journal of the American College of Veterinary Radiology and the International Veterinary Radiology Association · 2025-09 · open access
The assessment of the urogenital tract is of great importance in the diagnosis of diseases in lizards, and sonographic examination is the most suitable imaging method for this purpose. However, reference data are not available for most of the commonly kept species. The objective of this prospective…

- Thermal performance curves, activity and survival in a free-ranging ectotherm.
Wild KH, Roe JH, Curran J et al. · The Journal of animal ecology · 2025-07 · open access
INTRODUCTION In meeting competing demands on their time, animals must balance the costs and benefits of various behaviours to maximise their fitness (Huey & Slatkin, ). Energy expended in undertaking those behaviours needs to be weighed against fitness gains, where trade‐offs are inevitable and…
- Lizards and tortoises show evidence of low inhibitory control.
Santacà M, Wilkinson A, Stancher G et al. · Scientific reports · 2025-07 · open access
Inhibitory control, the ability to suppress an automatic response in favour of a contextually appropriate alternative, is crucial for adaptive behaviour across animal species. While extensively studied in mammals and birds, research on reptiles remains limited, with comparisons hindered by…

- Influence of enclosure design on the behaviour and welfare of Pogona vitticeps.
Denommé M, Bakker NL, Tattersall GJ · PloS one · 2025-06 · open access
Complex or naturalistic enclosures have become increasingly accepted as those best-suited to improve an animal's welfare. However, designing such enclosures can be difficult if little is known about the animal in the wild, and enclosures that aim to replicate natural habitats must still be assessed…

Valença A, Fernandes G, Smolders J et al. · Frontiers in veterinary science · 2025-04 · open access
Common leopard geckos ( Eublepharis macularius ) and central bearded dragon ( Pogona vitticeps ) are widely kept as pets but can harbor pathogenic bacteria, including antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria. This study aimed to research the frequency of β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales in…
