Abstract
Varanus salvator is a water reptile that has various kinds depends on the habitat. Varanus salvator has been hunted by people for hundreds or even thousands of years, therefore the populations decreased. People used Varanus salvator as a source of protein and as medicine for particular parts of the body. Informations about Varanus salvator reproductive anatomy was highly needed as the base of conservation. The objective of this research was to know the corelation of snouth vent length and body weight to the size of hemipenes. Forty male Varanus salvator in random sizes was measured in snoth vent length and body weight, then the measurement’s result was analized and correlated with the size of hemipenes. The size of hemipenes was the length of hemipenes, the diameter of radix hemipenes, the diameter of corpus hemipenes and the diameter of glands hemipenes. The datas was processed using Anova test, Linear regression test, correlation test, and double correlation test.The result showed that body weight and snouth vent length correlated to the size of hemipenes because the value of correlation test showed p>0,5. Based on double correlation test, the result showed that snouth vent lengt was more correlated to the size of hemipenes. The value of double corrrelation test showed z<1,96.

Highlights
Biawak isa water reptile that has various kinds depends of their habitat
Based on the backgrouns stated above, this research is aimed to study the correlation between snouth vent length and body weight to the kength of hemipenis in Varanus salvator
Based on the research result, it was known that the size of hemipenis alway grows in size following the growth of Snouth Vent Length (SVL) and body weight
Summary
Biawak has been hunted by people for hundreds and even thousands of years. STUDY OF HEMIPENIS BIAWAK AIR Varanus salvator ON LENGTH MEASUREMENT OF Snouth Vent Length (SVL) and BODY WEIGHT” in The Veterinary Page 742. One million pieces of Biawak’s skins were collected from every part of the world each year (Shine et al, 1998). European Union, Germany ranked first on exotic reptile consummation in the world. Biawak is one of the species of monitor lizards in Indonesia. Biawak is the second biggest monitor lizard in the world with the length of snout vent length more than one meter. Snouth Vent Length is the length that is measured from the snout to cloaca (Koch et al, 2007). The total length of the body is 2,5 meters with bodyweight 20 kg (Shine et al, 1996)
