Epididymal sperm from the vas deferens and the move toward ending the
hemipenes. Hemipenes are two penises are connected by a single testis which can
be inverted as the fingers on the rubber gloves. At the time of copulation hold
a reptile group of animals, only one hemipenes are inserted into the female
genital tract.
Ova have been fertilized female
reptile will go through the oviduct and sperm at the time through the oviduct,
