Diurnal and semi-arboreal. The total length of adults will range from 13-20 cm, although some males may exceed this. Green anoles are slender lizards with long tails (fragile and readily lost) and a pointed head. They have a toe development, which enables them to climb smooth vertical surfaces. The general colour is brown to green depending on mood and temperature. Anoles will change colour to thermoregulate - darker when cold and lighter when warm. The underside is generally lighter-coloured. Males are larger than females and have a pink dewlap, which they use to display to females and rivals. Females and juveniles of both sexes may have a white middorsal line (most males lack this).
