When you look at the hind foot of a male veiled you will see a small knob facing backwards, located right at the center of the foot...where the fused toes split. As an example, put your hand palm down on a table. Right where the heel of your hand rests there would be a round knobby stub, almost like a tiny toe. The female's foot will not show a knob at the same place. It's usually pretty obvious even from a young age. Does this help?
