A hemipenis (pl.: hemipenes) is one of a pair of intromittent organs of male squamates (snakes, lizards and worm lizards).[1][2][3] Hemipenes are usually held inverted within the body, and are everted for reproduction via erectile tissue, much like that in the human penis. They come in a variety of shapes, depending on species, with ornamentation such as spikes.
