Someone told me that a male snake will have 2 little hooks at the end of their tails, but you have to wait until a certain age to see this... is this true or is the only way to sex a snake through internal exam?
 
The males of certain species of boids will have spurs, or larger spurs than females in species where both sexes have them. Colubrids don't have spurs.
 
Starsevol is correct. With corns there is not external way to view sex. A snake would need to be popped or probed by an experienced person to be able to tell you the sex.
 
Alright, I found a small rescue in my area and they are going to come and probe my snakes this Friday, I'm kind of excited, if I have a male and female, I am contemplating breeding, but that will be awhile. Not planning on anything until tons of research is done first
