00:00 And especially lizards and snakes, there is a question that we often ask ourselves,
00:04 how do they reproduce?
00:06 These are bodies that are a bit long-lined, like that, they do not get on top of each other.
00:10 Well, lizards and snakes, they have what we call two hemipenises.
00:14 Yeah, yeah, you heard right, they have two.
00:16 And so they are not on top of each other, no, they are side by side, one on the right and one on the left.
00:21 And besides, we can get them out, we get them out by doing what we call an inversion.
00:26 Now, this snake is much too big and has too many muscles at the penis level.
00:30 So to get them out, since it's a bit of a delicate practice, we might hurt him.
00:34 So we're going to do that on a little one, on a young one.
00:37 So here I have exactly the same specimen, in small.
00:41 And so I'm going to show you what it looks like.
00:44 For that, we're going to come and press, like in the Game Boy method, at the base of the tail.
00:48 And here we are, we find ourselves getting the hemipenises out of the snake.
