421:, males prefer to have a longer copulatory duration for maximal sperm transfer and formation of a copulatory plug which aids in mate-guarding the female. If copulation lasts longer, males can produce larger plugs to reduce re-mating in females. However, if the quality or quantity of sperm transfer and copulatory plug is not adequate, the frequency of re-mating increases. Copulatory plug mass is also influenced by male body size, female body size, and the number of prior mating in that season. However, females prefer shorter copulation to prevent injury to their reproductive tract, suffocation, exhaustion, and risk of predation. Female genitalia often bleeds during and after copulation as penetration of the basal spine harms cloacal tissues while locking genitals. To shorten the copulatory period, female snakes perform axial rotation and roll their body to disturb cloacal alignment with males. They also use vaginal muscles and cloacal tissues to force males away. Females also avoid large mating aggregations and prefer dens with fewer male pheromones to avoid distress or death due to exhaustion or forcible insemination. Females also display post-copulatory sexual selection by re-mating or using sperm stored from the prior mating season, which increases sperm competition. It is common in red-sided garter snakes to have multiple paternity of offspring mainly by using stored sperm.
320:, and renal sex segment. Testes produce sperm that are transported by epididymis to the vas deferens, which then transfer the sperm to hemipenes. These snakes have a double penis with one testis supplying seminal fluid to each hemipenis. Hemipenes are saclike organs that facilitate sperm transfer to the female. During winter, the segment of the vas deferens is used for sperm storage. The function of the renal sex segment is to produce copulatory pheromones and the granules for formation of a copulatory plug. The female reproductive system consists of ovaries, an oviduct, and cloaca. The ovaries and oviducts are long due to the streamlined body of the snake. Multiple
291:. The young snakes mostly feed on earthworms. Soon after feeding, close to the end of summer, the adult snakes return to their dens for winter hibernation. The young snakes, around one-year-old, spend more time in marshy areas to find food before the winter temperatures arrive and hibernate there as their small size makes them unnoticeable to predators. During hibernation, the energy stored from summer feeding is used for body growth and maintenance to survive in subzero temperatures for months.

migrating to feeding grounds immediately after mating to avoid any injury or suffocation due to the mass gathering of males, who stay at dens till the end of breeding season. Along with mate-guarding the females, mating plugs also play an important role in initiating transfer of recently deposited sperm, evacuating stored sperm in the oviduct from previous matings, preventing sperm leakage, and acting as
350:, mating is largely based on the courtship tactics of males. Males prefer to mate with females who are unmated so they check females for any evidence of previous mating by studying their pheromonal trails for presence of copulatory pheromones or a copulatory plug by tongue-flicking in female cloaca and chin-rubbing to transfer pheromones from skin or cloaca to

are not receptive as these changes can be determined by the female's pheromonal trails from miles away. Female attractiveness decreases due to the presence of copulatory pheromones rather than changes in sex-attractiveness pheromones. The duration of release of copulatory pheromones coincides with the duration of a copulatory plug.
378:. After the male red-sided garter snake performs courtship behavior, if the female is sexually receptive, she remains steady, breathes rapidly, lifts her tail and gapes her cloacal opening. However, if she is unreceptive, she will reject the advances by strongly vibrating her tail and moving away from the courting males.

When a male finds a female attractive, male shows increased frequency of tongue-flicking, chin pressing, tail searching, body contractions, caudocephalic waving, and attempts to align his body and cloaca to that of females to increase his mating possibility.
