First time snake owner saying hello!

[Huey1A9]

So I purchased my first snake about a year ago, her name is Bacon and she is a coastal rosy boa. I estimate she is about 18 months old and is that many inches long last time i measured. To be honest I'm not really certain she is a she... I'm reluctant to check the sex of the snake myself, just afraid I will hurt her. Probably something I should have a vet look at. Anyway, I've had some questions in the back of my mind about snake ownership and I figured this would be the place to go! Look forward to talking with you all!
