* Surgical incisions in reptiles undergo the same phases of healing as mammalian wounds but strengthen much more slowly. Factors affecting wound healing include would include ambient temperature (i.e. [[Preferred optimum temperature zone|POTZ]]), hygiene, orientation (longitudinal wounds heal more quickly). Leave sutures in for at least three to six weeks.
