− | This is one of the largest anoles and is much more heavily built than most species. Large males can reach a total length of 50 cm and display a range of colours. They may be brown and white, or green, and well-marked specimens often have areas of blue on the head. The dewlap is generally white or pale blue. Males will grow to a larger size than females and their heads, particularly in older males, is significantly more massive. Hemipenile bulges at the base of the tail may help with sexing. Knight anoles are impressive, display well and thrive in vivariums. They are however capable of inflicting a nasty bite and should not be kept with green anoles or any smaller lizard. | + | This is one of the largest anoles and is much more heavily built than most species.
