Get a set of probes and have the person you are buying them from (hopefully an experienced individual) explain and show you how to use them. I only say that, because there is a number of things you could do wrong and injure the snake. You might try calling a local pet store that carries reptiles and asking if you brought your snake up if they could do it for you. Probing or Popping is the only ways to tell for sure 100%. Alot of times though people can get a pretty good idea from looking at the tail. Males are generally longer and thinner, females short and thicker. It makes it alot easier if you are looking at two snakes of same species and similar size. JMHO Tom
