If you have several and can compare them (and know what to look for...) the males generally have larger, "blockier" or "chunkier" heads than the females. Whereas the females sometimes look a bit "pinheaded" in comparison. Also, the females almost always have a "pear-shaped" body (when viewed from the top): narrower just behind the front legs, and bulging out toward the back legs, while the males are usually "straighter" (more uniformly cylindrical their entire length). But sometimes it's hard to tell -- I have one juvenile that I think is about 3 or 4 years old that I *still* am not sure about ('though I'm starting to lean toward "female")...
