Abstract:
Research in reproductive management of reptiles has focused on developing and investigating feasible methods that can be used in clinical practice and laboratory settings, including sexing in monomorphic species and methods of artificial insemination in endangered reptile species. In captive pet reptile species, research is focused on hormonal regulation of reproductive activity. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist implants may temporarily suppress reproductive endocrine system (eg, circulating concentrations of estrogens and progesterone) in female green iguanas but did not influence male iguana behavior and plasma testosterone levels. Additionally, it did not suppress reproductive activity of females of other lizard species (eg, leopard geckos).
