There's a bunch of different ways that people use. Some look at femoral and preanal pores, but I find that the easiest way (with larger animals) is to gently raise the tail a little and check for the bulges on the ventral basal tail area, two in males, one in females.
A web search should bring up photos of both methods. Alternatively, post some pics of your girl and we should be able to give you an opinion.
Welcome to the site, by the way

Just be aware mblisset, sexing beardies is a pretty unreliable thing, even for experienced people.

I have seen many so called "females" that when checked a second time are males. They seem to be able to "hide" their hemipenes or they are hard to see when stressed or something.....

obee | Obee, I would love to hear your 'english explanation' of this method, if, as you say, it is to help mblisset more  Otherwise it is pointless to comment at all.
Cheers.
