Hey Everyone, I have a project for school, and I decided to make a model of the reproductive system of a snake (Male and Female). I need some information on the reproductive systems of snakes, and would like to know if anyone can help me with information, or good informative sites, with pictures if possible. I would also like to thank everyone for their help in advance. Also, if anyone has any ideas of how I could make the model, and with what materials, I would appreciate it very much, Thanks Alot, Jason

neat project choice, jason.

I think you'd want something see-through, to represent the snake's body...maybe some six-inch diameter clear plastic pipe? not sure where you'd get it--try a home depot maybe? then you could use smaller pieces of tubing to represent the oviducts--paint one, maybe (there are two, one on each side) and leave the other one clear and put something inside (candy easter eggs? smooth river rocks?) to represent the ova/eggs. I'm sure once you find drawings/photos, other materials will come to mind.

to find the illustrations, have you tried a google search for something like snake and reproductive and organs? youi'll have to be creative, play detective, but it's a neat challenge.

good luck, and let us know what you find.

peace

Thanks for your help, Ill post pix of the finished product in the next couple of days, just to show everyone what the reproductive system of a snake looks like, Jason
