New to rosies, have a question?

I just picked up what I was told is a desert rosy boa, it's about 2+ feet long and looks very healthy, not overweight though. My question is how do I tell if it is male or female, I've never dealt with rosies before and if the same applies to rosies as kenyans, she's a little girl! not sure please help a newbie out!

Is it like some others though, where even the female has spurs, just smaller, if it is I have no reference point to measure with as this is the only one that I have? now if only males have the spurs, this will be easy (hopefully)

Generally, female rosies do not have spurs.
