A guide to herpetological articles appearing in herpetogical periodicals over the past few years



The following is a guide to general herp-related veterinary articles that have appeared within herpetological magazines within the last few years. It is an ongoing project, ie I am effectively cataloguing these entries myself from the actual magazines, some of which are harder to get hold of than others (especially when they are no longer being published!). I hope however that some people will find it useful, especially if researching a single species or looking for some care guidance.

As of July 2006 we have removed veterinary articles on tortoises and turtles to a separate page. In time we may do this for all specific categories other than the most general.

NOTE: It should be emphasised here that if you have a sick animal, it should if possible be taken to a veterinarian as soon as possible. These articles may be good but they are no substitute for an examination of the individual animal by a qualified specialist. Even advanced herpetologists can only treat some ailments at home, and only licensed professionals can legally obtain some drugs.
