==Cloaca==

The [[Cloaca|cloaca]] is divided into three parts (cranial to caudal): coprodeum, urodeum and proctodeum.  The coprodeum collects faeces from the colon. The urodeum, which is the midsection of the [[Cloaca|cloaca]], collects urinary waste and products of [[Snake Reproductive System|reproduction]]. The urogenital papilla is situated dorsally behind a small fold. The proctodeum is the reservoir for faecal and urinary waste before [[Lizard and Snake Excretion|excretion]] and contains the openings of the cloacal scent glands.
