Oxygen debt in reptiles: Relationship between the time required for repayment and metabolic rate

Lifestyle, latitude and activity metabolism of natricine snakes

“…In N. maura, natural dives are of 5-10 min duration (Hailey, 1984a), and are usually repeated with only short (1 -2 min) breathing intervals. Lactate production during normal diving is therefore unlikely, as removal is slow (Gratz & Hutchison, 1977;Coulson & Hernandez, 1980). Free-diving sea snakes (Seymour, 1979) and terrapins (Gatten, 1981) do not accumulate lactate.…”
