ABSTRACT Some of Indonesia's endemic animals are pythons and cobras, which are animals that must be preserved. Malayopython reticulatus is one of the most important giant reptiles in the world which has a geographical distribution where the majority comes from the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. This study aims to determine the total erythrocyte hemoglobin level and hematocrit value in the local Sumatran reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus). The number of samples used in this study were 5 local Sumatran reticulated pythons (Malayopython reticulatus) originating from Pematang Siantar. Blood samples were taken through the ventral coccygeal vein. In this study, healthy adult snakes were used. Blood samples were put into a vacutainer tube that had been given EDTA anticoagulant and total erythrocyte examination, hemoglobin levels and hematocrit values of local Sumatran reticulated pythons (Malayopython reticulatus) in the Clinical Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Syiah Kuala University. The results showed that the average total erythrocytes was 1.54×106 /μL, the average hemoglobin level was 9.82g/dL, and the hematocrit value was 32.2% on average. Keywords: Snake, Malayopython reticulatus, erythrocyte, hemoglobin level, hematocrit value, Sumatra.
