I would say the top one looks female and the bottom male. The top has the shorter head shape, and the bottom appears to have larger post-anal spurs. I am not sure though, and would wait for more opinions. How are their demeanors? Males are typically more outgoing, and females more shy.

Funny, my female yellow has lost most of her toes as well. The male, however, is just fine. They were kept in the same cages throughout the first of their lives. They both had access to the same conditions. I guess that the female could have been denied access to all areas of the cage. It's just weird...

Scratch that and reverse it (I think).
