| Blood (plasma and cells) is approximately 6% of the body weight of snakes and the normal PCV of a snake is about 0.20 to 0.30 l/l (20-30%). Blood cells form in the bone marrow and spleen, and early in life, the liver. | | Blood (plasma and cells) is approximately 6% of the body weight of snakes and the normal PCV of a snake is about 0.20 to 0.30 l/l (20-30%).

| Romanowsky stains, although time consuming, give the best results. DiffQuik may give adequate results. Reticulocytes are detected with new methylene blue, brilliant cresyl blue and other supravital stains. Cell-specific stains are available. | | Romanowsky stains, although time consuming, give the best results. DiffQuik may give adequate results.
