| − | Evaluation of leucocytes involves the determination of a total and differential leucocyte count. Manual methods are needed to obtain total leucocyte counts in reptiles because of the presence of nucleated erythrocytes and [[Thrombocytes|thrombocytes]]. The granulocytes are classified as [[Heterophils|heterophils]], [[Eosinophils|eosinophils]] and [[Basophils|basophils]] on their appearance in peripheral blood films stained with Romanowsky's stains.[[Category:Lizard_and_Snake_Glossary]] | + | Evaluation of leucocytes involves the determination of a total and differential leucocyte count.
