Only males show signs so it's best to look for those. Like cloacal spurs, they feel like little bb pelets or pimples one on each side, just below the cloaca. As they mature they develop jowls and start leaving sperm plugs with their poo. They also start to invert their hemipenes. 


Like most things when the spurs pop up is random, some show around the three foot mark for b&w's. But I recently had a baby golden that already had his spurs. Either way it wouldn't hurt to check. Pics will help if you think you might see or feel something there and you're not sure. But not having any right now doesn't mean anything.
