Maybe I'm using the term "sperm plugs" incorrectly, but I have always thought that sperm plugs were what was left behin in the female after a successful copulation by the male, to keep other males from effectively fertilizing any eggs and to possibly fertilizer another clutch later on.
So, wouldn't a snake with sperm plugs present be a female anyway???
Also, assuming my use of the term is at all correct, I am not aware of corns using sperm plugs anyway. Anyone have any evidence of this being the case?
If my terminology is off...so will be my questions, of course. ----- Darin Chappell
