"Dare I ask how you know this?"

It's hard to explain without comparison pics, but a male snake has a tail that extends gradually to a point (long tail) and a female has a shorter tail which terminates more abrubtly to a point. Watersnake varieties show this difference the best, especially Moccasins.
