Baseline morphometric, haematological and plasma biochemical parameters in free ‐ranging eastern water dragons (Intellagama lesueurii lesueurii)

ConclusionMultiple parameters exhibited normal physiological variation between season and sex and an interaction between the two factors. These variables need to be considered in the clinical context when interpreting results of haematological and biochemical analyses in eastern water dragons. The RIs established from this population will provide a basis for further studies in both free ‐living and captive eastern water dragons, and for comparison in clinical cases.
