I was talking to a breeder and he told me that sperm retention for this long is unlikely. Immaculate conception was thrown out there. Anyone know much about this? I mean actual documented cases and even genetic studies? I was told there are a few cases of this known in pythons.

In either case, it would seem this could throw a huge wrench in the het market for recessives. I know certain breeders are carefull of breeding females to different recessive males for subsequent years.

This could explain the weirdness of certain morphs just popping up randomly in people's collections.
