I have had good luck going by tail shape. By that I mean looking at the shape and tapering, especially from the vent back. Generally males have no real taper at the vent and continue gradually, with a longer tail. Females taper at the vent, taper to a smaller, shorter tail.
My suggestion would be find someone who knows and get a 'feel' for it from them.

The picture is from Kathy Love's site, www.Corn-Utopia.com. I have also included a link on sexing snakes in general. I hope this helps you.
