In small lizard species, venipuncture for blood collection or drug delivery is challenging. A commonly advised site is the ventral or lateral coccygeal vein (Murray 2000 ), but it should not be used in species that can undergo caudal autotomy. The ventral abdominal vein is also suggested but the risk of vessel and viscera lacerations must be considered (Redrobe & MacDonald 1999 , Sykes & Klaphake 2015 ).

Abstract
In small lizard species, venipuncture for blood collection or drug delivery is challenging. A commonly advised site is the ventral or lateral coccygeal vein (Murray 2000 ), but it should not be used in species that can undergo caudal autotomy. The ventral abdominal vein is also suggested but the risk of vessel and viscera lacerations must be considered (Redrobe & MacDonald 1999 , Sykes & Klaphake 2015 ).File in questo prodotto:
