Sand boa sexing

I just adopted a 3 year old female sand boa. She seems a bit small for her age (only 14") and I'm wondering if that's normal. I thought perhaps it could be a male. Comparing vent shots online it does look like a female but I thought I might ask you guys what you think. I took a pic, not sure if this helps. Let me know if another angle would work better:

14" would be small for a 3 year old female. Have you tried popping or probing? From the picture it "looks" like a male with the appearance of spurs, tail width, and scale count.

Thanks. I'm not experienced in probing but I might bring her to a reptile meeting in my area and see if I can get some help there. Not sure I'm ready to try that myself yet.
