so I have two pairs of these keeping them housed together in the hopes they may breed

I noticed one of the females looks gravid. any way to tell for sure?

Are they being kept in a vertically oriented environment?

A gravid female will flick advancing males away. As the embryos develop, they can be seen inside her body by "candlelighting" her.
