1. Introduction The number and species of reptiles housed in captivity is astonishing, and their maintenance has increased in the last 20 years. According to Auliya et al., between 2004–2014, the European Union member states officially reported the import of 20,788,747 live reptiles (CITES and…
- Melanistic coloration does not influence thermoregulation in the crepuscular gecko Eublepharis macularius.
Hastings BT, Melnyk A, Ghyabi M et al. · Biology open · 2023-10 · open access
INTRODUCTION Melanistic body coloration has several different functions in vertebrates, such as being involved in visual signaling and organism communication, camouflage, and thermoregulation (reviewed in ). Thermoregulation, the maintenance of an organism's optimal body temperature, is essential…

- Malignant ovarian dysgerminoma in a 16-year-old leopard gecko ( Eublepharis macularius ).
Zborilova H, Dietz J, Heckers KO et al. · Veterinarni medicina · 2023-03 · open access
The 16-year-old female leopard gecko ( Eublepharis macularius ) was presented with distended coelom and cachexia. Examination of the faecal sample ruled out the presence of protozoan parasites. A radiographic examination confirmed the presence of radiopaque foreign material in the intestine. The…
- The Effect of Enrichment on Leopard Geckos ( Eublepharis macularius ) Housed in Two Different Maintenance Systems (Rack System vs. Terrarium).
Zieliński D · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2023-03 · open access
1. Introduction Reptiles are popular pets around the world, although their welfare requirements in captivity are not always fulfilled, in part due to the apparent lack of awareness of their needs. The management of exotic pets is challenging, given their biological needs (in comparison to companion…
- Egg Removal via Cloacoscopy in Three Dystocic Leopard Geckos ( Eublepharis macularius ).
Vetere A, Bigliardi E, Masi M et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2023-03 · open access
1. Introduction Dystocia (egg binding) in reptiles is a common, multifactorial disease. Different factors of captivity are often related to the occurrence of dystocia, such as inadequate husbandry (improper temperature gradients or humidity levels, inadequate nesting sites, overcrowding), poor…
- Molecular evidence of Monocercomonas and Acanthamoeba in the feces of captive reptiles.
Tuska-Szalay B, Kelly H, Takács N et al. · Parasitology research · 2022-10 · open access
Reptiles are frequently kept as pet animals. They are considered as important reservoirs of protozoa with veterinary-medical significance. At a reptile farm in Ireland, fecal samples were collected from 98 captive reptiles, representing 43 species of three orders (Squamata, Testudines, and…

- Determining the Effects of Serial Injections of Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin on Plasma Testosterone Concentrations, Testicular Dynamics, and Semen Production in Leopard Geckos ( Eublepharis macularius ).
Mason AK, Lee J, Perry SM et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2021-08 · open access
Reptiles are highly susceptible to anthropogenic activities as a result of their narrow geographical ranges and habitat specialization, making them a conservation concern. Geckos represent one of the mega-diverse reptile lineages under pressure; however, limited assisted reproductive technologies…
- Genetics of white color and iridophoroma in "Lemon Frost" leopard geckos.
Guo L, Bloom J, Sykes S et al. · PLoS genetics · 2021-06 · open access
Introduction Color-producing cells contribute to animal coloration and patterns. Some cells, such as melanocytes, produce pigments chemically. Others, such as iridophores, produce colors structurally by making crystal platelets. Iridophores are not present in mammals, but are widespread in insects,…
- Tooth Removal in the Leopard Gecko and the de novo Formation of Replacement Teeth.
Brink KS, Henríquez JI, Grieco TM et al. · Frontiers in physiology · 2021-05 · open access
Introduction Polyphyodonty, or life-long tooth replacement, is a developmental process shared by most non-mammalian vertebrates. In polyphyodont reptiles, it has been well documented that replacement occurs in waves that pass from the back to the front of the mouth in alternating tooth positions.…

Oonincx DGAB, Diehl JJE, Kik M et al. · Comparative biochemistry and physiology. Part B, Biochemistry & molecular biology · 2020-09 · open access
Vitamin D is an important regulator of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis in animals. It can be acquired from the diet or synthesised de novo when skin is exposed to UVb. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to a complex of diseases collectively called metabolic bone disease (MBD). Diurnal lizards without…
