Hematologic values in Brazilian Boa constrictor snake

Boa constrictor snakes are among the most commercialized unconventional domestic animals in Brazil, following a global trend.Veterinary clinics are undergoing a transformation, requiring more specialized knowledge in specific areas, such as snake cardiology.For this reason, this study aimed to study the blood profile of this species, as well as characterize its electrocardiographic profile.Forty healthy adult snakes (Boa constrictor) were selected, distributed into two groups, males, and females and blood count was measured.The test results were described as mean and standard deviation, generating reference values for the Boa constrictor species.
