In the female the tail is relatively short and tapers off rapidly.
In the male the tail is longer and tapers more gradually, there may also be a slight swelling visible at the base of the tail.
To be honest, it isn't easy without having known sexes to compare against. It takes a little experience. By far the best solution would be if you could find a way to post some pictures.
