Here's a pretty good article written last year on the subject of snake reproduction: Life is short, but snakes are long.

Some of the answers you're looking for are in the 3rd paragraph down. I'm sure the entire article will be helpful though - enjoy!

"They use special cells in their bodies that secrete sugars and proteins to keep the sperm alive.The sperm are kept in small pockets along a spongy tube that leads to the snakes' ovaries."

Google brings up a surprising amount of research on this, but I don't know if exactly how much sperm can be stored has been explored. Enough to get the job done (:

That's really neat. I had no idea the female could choose which sperm she wants to use from multiple fathers.
