Maybe in the retained sperm, the Male sperms were just not as long lived and had all died off leaving only female sperm.



Something is tickling the back of my brain about this subject but I can't seem to pull it forward. Something about the male sperm finding the female environment/hormones harsher then the corresponding female sperm. I don't think this info is reptile specific, actually I believe it is mammalian type research but may very well apply.
