i have two snakes from the same litter that i am comparing. they are both six months old. the one i was told was male has visible spurs and is about 27" and has a 3.5" tail. the one i was told was female had no signs of spurs at all, is 30" and has a 3.5" tail.
im not sure if the snakes were popped or probed to determine sex so im concerned the female may be a male. can the absence of spurs confirm the snake as a female?

thank you in advance for any opinions or experience information.
