So the female held to 2004 sperm from the pastel.

So what if you breed normal male to a normal female in 2004. Then breed an albino male to same normal female in 2005. The 2005 clutch hatches out with normal looking babies. What if the female held the sperm from the 2004 normale male breeding. What are the odds? Is this crazy???
Great, great question....that I'll add to....how long is possible sperm retention a problem? In other words, typically how long can a female store a male sperm? 1 year, 2 yrs, 3yrs back?
