Reptiles — Veterinary Drug Dosing

Reptile dosing is governed by ectothermy — drug clearance scales with the animal's preferred optimum temperature zone, not body weight alone, so a dose that's correct at 30 °C can be sub-therapeutic in a cold-kept patient. ExoticRx curates cited, species-specific dose rules for reptiles, with the evidence level flagged wherever a value is extrapolated from a related species.
