Photos #1 of 19 and #10 of 19 exhibit the minuscule pale nails on the hind 
toes of the left and right feet, respectively.   The photo Bob Mumford posted 
yesterday showed the same tiny nail on the left hind toe.   It is not the 
forward-facing toes we are concerned about and you have to blow up each photo to see 
these nail nubs.   Even then, they are only marginally detectable.   We still 
need some expert advice on the possible sexual dimorphism in these nails.   
Lasley's site is the best I have seen illustrating this difference.
