Its almost impossible to work out how old a snake is by its size and weight, i had a ghost that was 12 months old and would easily pass for 2 years, i also have a royal that would pass for 6 months old, but is 3 years old, so unless you have the details from the breeder, its a bit of a guessing game.
As for the sexes, at the sizes they are, they should be pretty easy to do, they dont have the muscle mass to stop the probe and get a false female, and you cant really get a false male without lots of blood! post a pic of the tail, from the vent down on the bottom, no matter what anyone says, it is possible to sex them visually a lot of the time. |

I'll take a crack at this game, more mass in the tail after the vent in the bottom picture so I'd say that's your male, the one with the very skinny tail and immediate thinning out after the vent in the top pic, female.

Nope, its the other way round, the deeper probe is the male, the shallow the female.
It is possible to get a false female as sometimes they clench, stopping the probe, although sometimes you can feel the difference between a clench and the base of the cloaca.
Sometimes, on occasion you can get the male to pop straight after being probed.
To get a false male, you end up doing quite a lot of damage to the females cloaca, and you need to put a fair bit of pressure on, which you should never do when probing anyway. |

Judging on tale shape, top is a male, and bottom pic is a female
If the probes are 5mm and 15mm this is considerable difference, and would say that it is more like 99.9% sure that these are accurate |

I wouldnt worry about it tbh, there are plenty who make a habit out of being wrong, and still try and convince people they are right! |
