Because of habitat destruction and smuggling, yellow-margined box turtle is endangered in the island. So far scientific research are lacking especially in basic physiology and hematological information. For this purpose, the objective of this study are establishing normal body ratio, hematological and biochemical reference values of captive and wild yellow-margined box turtle. The results will be applied to clinical veterinary medicine and wildlife conservation. Captive and wild yellow-margined box turtles were used in this study. Clinical physical examinations were normal in all turtles. Jackson’s ratio and the equation of logarithm body weight regressed against logarithm carapace length were adopted to assess the health condition. In hematological and biochemical reference values establishment, blood samples were obtained from jugular vein in January, April, July, and October. Complete blood count (CBC) was performed and included PCV, Hb, RBC count, WBC count and WBC differential count. Biochemistry analysis included albumin, total protein, uric acid, urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, glucose, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline phosphatase (ALKP), cholesterol, triglycerides, calcium, phosphorus and creatine kinase (CK). The principle from International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) was utilized for reference range. Data were also analyzed on the basis of sex, season and interaction between sex and season, using repeated measures analysis of variance. The results present in this study can contribute to clinical veterinary medicine and wildlife conservation directly. The results and methods will become a reference for future research.食蛇龜血液學血清生化學體態比例Yellow margined box turtlehematologyserum biochemistrybody ratio野生與圈養食蛇龜正常健康體態比例、血液及生化參考值比較之研究
