Depending on how you feed it, anywhere's from 8 feet. As far as sexing it goes there are two general methods, popping, and probing. Popping is quick but not reccomended, and probing you would need a tool. If your on pretty good terms with a Reptile Shop I am sure they would be happy to do it for you. Mine was. It's a good thing if someone teaches you while you hands on as you are right there, because of the possibility of injuring the snake.
Have Fun...

up tp 10 ft as females, 7 ft or less as males. id get it probed by an experienced breeder, but go to www.cornutopia.com and kathy love has a video on how to pop young snakes to sex them.
