Before that, it was believed that they did not have this organ. Now it turned out that it is double - like the penis in males. A double clitoris is called a hemiclitorus. It is located in the lower part of the reptile's tail and consists of sensory nerves and tissue similar in properties to erectile tissue. It does not have spikes that help during mating - they are on the genitals of males. Biologists believe that the snake hemiclitor performs a standard function - it is stimulated during courtship, enhances sexual behavior and increases the chances of successful fertilization.
