Tail shape works well with some specie and not so well with others and certainly requires a good degree of experience to get it right where it does apply best. Short of hemipene eversion where possible, the most reliable method is probing. Due to the potential for harming the snake in this process, it should only be performed by an experienced and competent individual.
The first question to ask should be directed at the person who sold it to you – How did you ascertain that it was a female?
A photo in good light on a neutral background (such as a white sheet) and taken on a phone would, in all likelihood, settle the identity question for you. I am sure at least one of your mates could help out if you asked around. Otherwise you are asking people to guess blindly. If you want a definitive answer, a verbal description won’t cut it. So its over to you.
