Are you in the US? I ask because I'm trying to locate some T. multifasciata at this time.

As for sexing, the advice given above is correct. Look for sperm plugs. The males drop these frequently enough you should see them if you look. Females obviously don't leave these behind. The other methods, eye color, tail base width, and head width aren't very accurate.
