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