  1. look between its legs


  2. Adult anole size is up to 9 inches.

    Males generally have a larger dewlap than females. Males are larger than females. Males have a brighter, larger red throat,Females MAY keep the stripe down their back. Mature males have a hemipenes bumps on either side of their tail base.I believe anoles are considered mature when they reach about 5 inches snout to tail tip length.

    Adults reach ~7 inches snout-tail length (stl). Wild specimens of 10 to 12 inches reported; 9 inches considered big in captivity. This may be due to the fact that they are not generally cared for properly in captivity (diet, heat, lighting) and so do not grow as well and die earlier than in the wild...(about 4 years in captivity).

    Males are larger than females and have a dewlap (throat fan) which they use to display to females and rivals. Some males have a dorsal crest (beginning just behind the head) which is raised as part of the threat display (typically with the dewlap extended). Males have enlarged post-anal pores (found on the tail below the vent).

    Females, and juveniles of both sexes, may have a white stripe down the back. Females of some species have dewlaps - if they do, they are smaller than those of males, and displayed less frequently.

    Pick up your anole. Is it fairly small or big? Females are smaller than males, generally measuring closer to five inches long, while males can be up to eight inches long.

    - Check under the neck:

    Males have a pink dewlap, or arc of skin hanging in an arc from the neck region.

    Females will have a pale pink throat.

    - Check the tail:

    Males will have two larger scales at the beginning point of the tail.

    Females lack this characteristic.

    You can also tell by the stripe females have a thick brown strip and Males have a strip with triangles in it
