feedback2="'''Incorrect''' The Jacobson's organ is not associated with the snake reproductive system.  Hemipenes, paired male copulatory organs, may have protuberances that help grip the female and the surface groove (sulcus spermaticus) is involved in the propulsion of semen [[Snake Special Senses|WikiVet Article: Snake Special Senses]]."

feedback4="'''Incorrect''' The thyroid, which is under pituitary control, appears to play an important role in shedding and growth. Accidental surgical removal of the thyroid may increase shedding, which is the reverse to lizards. In some species it has been reported that thyroid extract administration inhibits moulting [[Snake Endocrine System|WikiVet Article: Snake Endocrine System]]."

feedback3="'''Incorrect''' Scales that cover the eyes are called spectacles (also ocular scale, eye cap and brille). Gastrosteges are the enlarged ventral scales on the body which aid locomotion [[Snake Skin|WikiVet Article: Snake Skin]]."

feedback3="'''Incorrect''' Scales that cover the eyes are called spectacles (also ocular scale, eye cap and brille). They are shed with the rest of the skin during ecdydsis. [[Snake Eye|WikiVet Article: Snake Eye]]."

feedback4="'''Incorrect''' This snake dentition is known as solenoglyphous. It is seen in viperids where long curved tubular fangs located in the maxillae are folded caudodorsally and covered with a fleshy sheath when at rest. [[Snake Teeth|WikiVet Article: Snake Teeth]]."

feedback5="'''Incorrect''' These receptors occur in the labial pits of boids and pythons, and the heat pits of pit vipers and are used to located warm-blooded prey. Gastrosteges are enlarged ventral scales on the body which aid locomotion [[Snake Skin|WikiVet Article: Snake Skin]]."

feedback1="'''Incorrect''' The ovaries of snakes are elongate and are located near the pancreas/spleen/gall bladder, cranial to the kidneys. Rough use of probes when sexing snakes can cause damage. In females it is possible to perforate the musk glands and allow the probe to slide in as far as it would in a male snake.  [[Snake Physical Examination|Wikivet Article: Snake Physical Examination]] '''and''' [[Snake Reproductive System]]."

feedback3="'''Incorrect''' A caecum is not found in all snake species. Rough use of probes when sexing snakes can cause damage. In females it is possible to perforate the musk glands and allow the probe to slide in as far as it would in a male snake. [[Snake Physical Examination|Wikivet Article: Snake Physical Examination]] '''and''' [[Snake Reproductive System]]."

feedback3="'''Incorrect''' A caecum is not found in all snake species. In Boidae, a small caecum projects from the proximal colon. There is not usually a danger of damaging this part of the anatomy when sexing a snake. [[Snake Digestive System|Wikivet Article: Snake Digestive System]]".

feedback2="'''Incorrect''' The cranial oviduct contains a region of mucosal folds and alveolar glands, the receptaculum seminis, that serves for sperm storage allowing continued fertility from one insemination. Musk glands is the correct answer.  [[Snake Physical Examination|Wikivet Article: Snake Physical Examination]] '''and''' [[Snake Reproductive System]]."

feedback4="'''Correct!''' In males a sexing probe enters the hemipenes (10-12 scale rows) while in females it may enter the musk glands (2-3 scale rows). Take care since rough use of probes can cause damage. In females it is possible to perforate the musk gland and allow the probe to slide in as far as it would in a male snake.  [[Snake Physical Examination|Wikivet Article: Snake Physical Examination]]."
