Abstract     
Stress, as an adaptive response of any animal to a stimulus which presents a threat to homeostasis, can occur in reptiles. Yet many veterinarians fail to recognize signs of stress in reptiles. In this article, evaluation of reptile stress is discussed with a focus on the analysis of behavioral changes, neuro-endocrine correlation, and biochemical and physiological effects in reptiles. If stress can be assessed and treated properly in captive reptiles, their health and well-being can be optimized.
