a weird question about bp anatomy

[hypersomniacjoo]

i just had a weird thought- do male bp's produce liquid urates through their hemipenes, or are all excrements from the cloaca / butt? i know that urates can be solid but sometimes there is liquid in there as well. or are hemipenes sperm-only vessels?

The hemipenes are sperm-only. Think about it. The hemipenes are located in the tail, *after* the cloaca, right? So the ureters would have to bypass all that. Instead, the ureters empty directly.
