Reptiles are like birds in that they have a single chamber into which faeces and urates are deposited before being voided. Through this same chamber passes sperm in the male, and eggs in the female. This chamber, the cloaca, is found just inside the vent. In contrast to land turtles, prolapses of the uterus or intestine are rare in water turtles.
