Eight nonreproductive female Drakensberg crag lizards (Pseudocordylus melanotus melanotus) were each fed diets of mealworms and calcium capsules with various calcium levels. Excreta were collected and analyzed for calcium and uric acid content. The amount of calcium in the feces was calculated. The lizards appeared to be able to maintain calcium balance at calcium intakes equivalent to 1.4-5.6% calcium in the dry matter of feed. Calcium balance was maintained by adapting intestinal calcium absorption.

In this article a review will be given of the groups of anaesthetics used for animal capture, their developmental history, mode of action and indication for use. A table with dosages of locally--in the Netherlands--available drugs will be presented for a number of animal species.

The management of poisonous snake bites includes first aid and clinical medical treatment. First aid consists of reassurement of the patient, immobilisation of the bitten limb and rapid transport to the nearest hospital to monitor the vital functions. In no case suction, incision or tight bandages should be applied. The degree of envenomation can be classified in three categories depending on the spread of the symptoms: no symptoms, only local non-progressive symptoms, and systemic or local rapidly progressive symptoms (severe envenomation). Antivenin therapy is indicated in severe envenomation. Because of the risk of anaphylactic reactions or serum sickness, antivenin should be given with great caution. Antibiotic therapy and tetanus prophylaxis are advised in all cases. Immediate consultation with the National Intoxication Centre of the Rijksinstitut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu (RIVM) is always warranted; telephone: 030-2748888. In a national protocol, which is available at the RIVM, the Harbour Hospital Rotterdam, the Academic Medical Centre and Artis Zoo Amsterdam, the correct management of snake bites is described. An overview of all antivenins available in the Netherlands is also given in this protocol.
