Yes, females do have scent glands located in the same area as the males have their hemipenes. The scent can dry out and when the snake is popped the resulting plug can look like a sperm plug. However, it won't be as long as a sperm plug and (if I remember correctly from the last time I had it happen) it is darker than sperm plugs.

You'll have to probe it to be sure of it's sex at this point. Popping can work, but if the male has enough control over the muscles in that area it can be difficult to properly pop him and your results will not be as definitive as actually probing it would be.
