There are a couple of ways in which to sex your snake, popping and probing, but both ways can harm your snake if you dont know what your doing.

Best way is to take him/her/it down to your local rep shop and they'll be able to do it for you.

Where abouts are you? Your local reptile shop should be able to do it free for you.

If your good enough, you can do it at any age.

The size and shape of the tail can indicate to the sex, as well as doing a subcaudal scale count, but with a snake as young as yours, a scale count will be hard and there wont be much difference with the tail.

Did you go to Warrington pets and exotics? I'm pretty sure Lee the owner of the shop can probe them depending on age.
