Hi Ryan,

I can't conclude that simple body mass would be a factor. Sperm retention is sperm retention, and it's been seen in several snake species (I believe first with corn snakes). Unless there is empirical data on this, I think we can chalk it up to strong, viable sperm. I'm curious if anyone else has thoughts on this, as it's a thought-provoking question.
