From what I understand sperm plugs to be, they are not sperm at all, but used to block the female so another male can't lock up with her and fertilize the eggs. The plugs eventually fall out but the ideal is to give the first male's sperm time to fertilize the female before another male can do it.



I know this is the case with many mammals, not sure if this is so with reptiles.
