Hi every one new here looks great

I just purchased a young common boa and the pet shop owner said he didnt know what sex it was. I know it is a bit young, but is there anything that might give me a hint to what sex it is?

Hi and Welcome to HC Network. When they are young, its next to impossible to tell what sex they are. Probing is the surefire way but make sure whoever does it knows what he is doing. If you are figuring out a name, try picking something unisex.

Hi Paula and welcome to HCN. You could find someone to probe it for you, thats the most accurate way, if it was young enough you could pop it, but its not suggest, lol....Post pics if you can.
