In snakes this has a much greater complexity than its olfactory system and is essential for prey tracking as well as mate distinction and courtship. [19] Snake tongues are bifurcated, or forked, to enhance their ability to pick up pheromones by means of tropotaxis, [19] and so are able to detect different stimuli intensities simultaneously ...
The hemipenis is the intromittent organ of Squamata, [4] which is the second largest order of vertebrates with over 9,000 species distributed around the world. They differ from the intromittent organs of most other amniotes such as mammals, archosaurs and turtles that have a single genital tubercle, as squamates have the paired genitalia remaining separate.

Parthenogenesis is a mode of asexual reproduction in which offspring are produced by females without the genetic contribution of a male. Among all the sexual vertebrates, the only examples of true parthenogenesis, in which all-female populations reproduce without the involvement of males, are found in squamate reptiles (snakes and lizards).
