Casey spotted him crawling on a neighbor’s parked car tire and I scooped him up to put him in a better spot 🙂

Adorable! I like the one of him on the fence. Do we actually know its a boy? Is that something you know how to determine???? I’m intrigued…
Well, females are smaller than males, generally measuring closer to five inches long, while males can be up to eight inches long. Males have a pink dewlap, or flap of skin hanging in an arc from the neck region. Females will have a pale pink throat. Males will have two larger scales at the beginning point of the tail while females lack this characteristic. I didn’t want to piss him off too much and check his dewlap, but this is one of the biggest ones I have seen so I’m going with male because of that. Plus I always seem to say “him” when I see lizards haha 🙂
Haha. True. Are these sexual dimorphism characteristics specific to this species then?
You can generally use these traits to sex other anole species as well, but on some you can also use stripe patterns and presence of a dorsal crest to tell.
