Acutally, snakes can store sperm for a long time. I wouldn't think that after 15 years it would still be viable though.

Kevin writes in his book that he's tried several things with the "rollout eggs" over the years. He's put them back in with the clutch and the mother always rolls them out. 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
