Fig. 3. Davenport diagram with calculated PCO2 isoclines showing changes in extracellular acid–base status of Boa constricta when fasting and during digestion. Numbers indicate time (h) after digestion. Untreated control snakes, solid circles; omeprazole-treated snakes, open circles. For comparison, acid–base values predicted in the case of no ventilatory compensation (i.e. maintained PaCO2) are shown in red, while the predicted acid–base status in case of a maintained pHa is shown in blue. The dotted line represents the non-bicarbonate buffer line obtained on Python molurus (Overgaard and Wang, 2002).
