>>By "positive they are both females" does that mean an educated guess or does that mean you probed them both yourself? Someone else probed them?

My thoughts exactly.

I've seen males tail wrap each other two different ways - simultaneously tail wrapping each other or just one male tail wrapping the other male, but have never seen a female tail wrap another snake.
