He's also tried to incubate them alone and none of them made it. They're just duds..and for whatever reason, the mother seems to be able to pick them out.

    I would expect the brown egg to be a "slug" or an egg that wasn't calcified enough to make it, personally.
    my stepdad just told me that one of his friends at the zoo, who is a reptile curator, said that snakes can hold sperm in their body for up to 18 years, could be longer, but thats the longest he has heard of
