males usually have hemipene bulges on the underside of the base of the tail and a bigger, bulkier head than females. Your best bet is to find some photos of known males and females and compare yours to those.

Do a google search and you should be able to find one.

You could also check out Rob Faust's book Nile Monitors. It has an entire chapter on sexing Niles.
