title: [Reptiles as patients in veterinary practice].
abstract: Important diseases of reptiles are described with references to the diagnostic material and patients of the Institute of Zoology and Hydrobiology between 1984 and 1990. The commonest causes of mortality were pneumonia, parasites and poor husbandry. Problems associated with the increasing popularity of reptiles as pets, and appropriate treatments are discussed.
