Furthermore, blood drawn by cardiac puncture may be inadequate for precise measurement of blood gases (Kerr and Frankel, 1972).

' The pH or acid-base status of the blood and interstitial fluids depends on metabolic acid production, respiratory gas exchange, ion levels and kidney function. 016 pH unit per 1 °C increase in temperature) (Howell and Rahn, 1976).
The capillary interface with interstitial fluids appears to be comparatively 'leaky' and fluids shift readily between the vascular and extravascular compartments, subject to physiological controls. Partly because of these attributes, reptiles can regulate blood (plasma) volume quite well (Lillywhite and Smith, 1981; Smits and Kozubowski, 1985).
