Hi Terry,

I was wondering about the concept of some female hondurans after an obvious mating, able to retain sperm from the male only to develop during the next season. When this happens, is there a visual or physical manisfestation of this phenomenon... like if I can feel some bumps (not really as big as eggs, but seems like ovulation without resulting into egg development, is that a possibility of sperm retention only to be laid the next season)?

Thanks,
-----
