Abstract
A tegu lizard tupinambis merianae submitted to osteosynthesis on umero received midazolam (0.073mg/kg, i.m.) and morphine (0.224mg/kg, i.m.) in pre-medication. The animal was induced by ketamine (30mg/kg, i.m.) and anesthesia was maintained with isofluorane diluted in O2 (1L/Kg/min) and supplied by facial mask, besides local anesthesia with lidocaine 2% without adrenaline (5mg/kg). This anesthesia protocol was efficient and safe to patient. KEYWORDS: Anesthesia, reptile, Tupiambis merianae.

Summary
A tegu lizard tupinambis merianae submitted to osteosynthesis on umero received midazolam (0.073mg/kg, i.m.) and morphine (0.224mg/kg, i.m.) in pre-medication. Embora MUIR et al (2001) tenham relatado como desnecessária a administração de pré-medicação na anestesia de répteis, SEDGWICK (2001) sugere a utilização de agonistas α2, benzodiazepínicos ou anticolinérgicos. Realizou-se a manutenção anestésica com isofluorano, através de máscara facial (Figura 1A) parcialmente vedada com uma luva de procedimento fixada à cabeça do animal com esparadrapo (Figura 1B).
