Thats a bit more of a poor excuse than an explanation, i mean "well...they where never there when we would see them" does not sound right after we have seen all of the male serpentine together, that would be like introducing female nindroids and just say, they where allways there, but you never got to see them. We could make the argument that there where female Serpentine in the groups if the color's of the scales where not so different, if Selma had colors like Mezmo, then it would make sence as we humans would be able to spot the differences betwine a male and a female serpentine, but with the whole different colored scales thing, it does not work. I don't think it acts as an excuse. If someone like you were to ask, "Why didn't we ever see the female or young serpentine earlier in the series?", then a fine explanation would be: When the serpentine were released from their tombs, it was by Lloyd, who needed them for vengence. It can then be assumed that only the male serpentine went to aid Lloyd in battle, while the mothers and children stayed behind, safe in the tombs. The only times when we previously saw the serpentine was when they were fighting or competing for dominance (both of these things don't seem very appropriate activities for the possibly weaker females and children). But then the serpentine reverted to peaceful ways in Season 3. That was the perfect time to introduce the softer, female snakes that were more peaceful by nature (remember how she convinced Skales to let the ninja into the tomb). To me, this makes more sense than some snakes changing gender.
