Unlike other boas, I have never seen spurs (claws) on female rosy's. The size of the spurs is not a good indicator as they are movable by the snake. So they can be retracted or extended. As retracted they fit into a "pore" but you can still see the tip of the spurs. On new borns, I always use a magnifier as sometimes the color camouflages the spurs.
