Hey Everyone

So I just got a Dumeril's Boa yesterday, Merry Christmas to me, haha. My question is with regards to sexing snakes. So I bought the one I thought looked the coolest had a really nice pattern, right now its about 19". When I took it home I just happened to say I wonder what sex it is and the guy pretty much grabbed it from me and popped it, it looked quite violent and I was mad he didnt ask my permission because I know it can damage snakes if done improperly. The guy that popped it isnt the guy that I usually ask my snake questions to as he isnt the snake breeder and I dont think he knows that much. My questions are 1. Has he damaged my snake as I read a snake shouldnt be popped over 2 weeks of age and 2. What would you snake experts age my baby Dumeril's at with it being 19". Can popping kill a snake or does it just damage it and is there anything I can look for to see if he popped it improperly? Im just quite concerned as I just bought her, thats what he told me it was a she.

Thanks Everyone

Taylor
