I believe you can sex them now, as long as you do it properly.
Looking back on the post now, having only 2 offspring really couldn't prove parthenogenesis - you'll really need to do genetic testing to compare the genetic makeup to the dam. Although a male would completely disprove parthenogenesis immediately.

Sexed the babies by palpating them and feeling for hemipenes. Felt nothing. I did not feel comfortable popping them at such a young age. And I believe mom is a Guyana striped rainbow boa. Just like Ben Siegel had for auction a few weeks ago.
