It is important that post mortem examinations are carried out with a systematic approach.

==External examination==

*Measure and weigh the lizard and examine the external features.
*Check the skin for bruising, bleeding, ulcerations, burns, lumps, scars, retained shed and ectoparasites.
*Examine the nares, eyes, tympanic membranes, oral cavity and cloaca.
*Assess the musculoskeletal system for body condition and palpate for pathology of the bones

==Internal examination==

*Open the coelomic cavity. Check for fluid.
*Examine all organs in a systematic manner - heart, great vessels, lung, thyroid, liver, gall bladder, spleen, pancreas, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, adrenal glands, kidneys, gonads.
*Open trachea, lungs, heart, oesophagus, stomach, and the intestinal tract and section others.
*Note the colour, size, shape and any abnormalities of each organ.
*Take samples for culture and histopathology from diseased tissues and collect faeces from the intestinal tract for parasites and culture
