    pickeringii and concinnus' don't do that. I already asked Dr. Robert Mason. He said he's never been able to find any evidence that they store sperm or get more than one litter from a mating like northwesterns and red sideds do. In fact, some skip years and do not mate or have litters but it takes another mating to get another litter and it's almost always just one mating with one male and one litter from it. This went for his captive snakes as well as wild ones.

    That's not a conclusion you can draw from the lack of evidence. At best, you can say that it hasn't, to your knowledge, been observed.

    True. I think that is actually what he said. It's never been observed.
