All the other ways are just guess work.Of head size,Body lenght,base if the tail girth'ect'ect.

4 100% ways are.

1/It has babys it's a female.
2/You find a sperm plug it's a male.
3/You see hemipenes it's a male.
4/If you see mating one on top male the one under female.

And that one isn't guaranteed... you might have a dominant male and a subordinate or "feminised" male - or conversely a dominant "masculinised" female and a subordinate female.

Accidental or intentional same-sex mating isn't unknown in reptiles
