How do snakes MATE? and…?
and is there really such thing as "mating season"? I saw the movie Anaconda’s (the hunt for red blood orchid). I was wondering if they really do get that BIG in size? like a dinosaur?

Yes, there is mating season, typically when the air temperature warms up (in captivity, to induce mating, breeders reduce the temperature in the snake cage for a few weeks and then bring it back up again – this triggers mating).
To mate, the male will wrap his tail around the female’s tail. He has two modified scales that he uses are spurs to hold her in place. He then inserts his hemipenes (dual internal reproductive organ) into her vent. They can stay in that position for as long as 24 hours, and may repeat this several times.

Anacondas do not get as big as the movie portrays; 13-14 feet is normal for a green anaconda male, 15-16 feet for a female. Rarely do they get any bigger than that. Yellow anacondas are about 4-5 feet smaller than greens, on average.

I would guess that the male snakes would have a pee-pee, and the female would have a wee-wee. If they did get as big as dinosaurs, we would surely know it. Everything around would be stomped on!

In polar and temperate regions, there is a mating season. But in tropical regions, they mate all year. No, anacondas don’t get that big. Snakes mate in much the same way humans do, except that the male has a hemipenis (meaning he has two penises).
