A wide range of reproductive modes are used by snakes. All snakes employ internal fertilization, accomplished by means of paired, forked hemipenes, which are stored inverted in the male's tail. Most snakes lay eggs, and of those most species abandon them shortly after laying; however, some species are ovoviviparous and retain the eggs within their bodies until they are almost ready to hatch. Recently, it has been confirmed that several species of snake are fully viviparous, nourishing their young through a placenta as well as a yolk sac, highly unusual among reptiles, or indeed anything else outside of placental mammals. Retention of eggs and live birth are commonly, but not exclusively, associated with cold environments, as the retention of the young within the female allows her to control their temperature more effectively than if the developing young were in external eggs.

if you ever watch animal planet. snakes wrap themselves around each other and some species several males will coil themselves around the female. on their lower bottom side the female has a opening where the male inserts a barb like penis into it several times to make sure it takes and then the female takes off.

I sure do! First, they flirt by sending each other text messages! Then, they meet up at a secret location, like a motel or a friends house! After an hour long fore-play demonstration, they do the 'Nasty'! It looks alot like naked twister! lol

Just like you'd think. They have the organs, and everything else.
