Anolis carolinensis
A wonderful pair of skittish anoles on an island tree. From tip of the nose to tip of the tail -- about 7 inches. Spotting number 500!
Tiny tropical island.
Reptiles, not native to Hawaii, which may represent two species (or perhaps one male and one female?). However, it is certain that the last two photos are of a female Anolis carolinensis, as indicated by her prominent white dorsal stripe.
Thank you, DD! There are many more spottings to come... when I get around to uploading 'em.
No problem! I didn't know how to tell apart males and females, thanks! Yes, she's got a pretty, white pattern on her back. :)
Oh haha I was looking at the 5th photo when I ID it. The prominent dorsal stripe on the greens means female, that first individual is questionable. Maybe just put in the notes the last 2 photos are a female and just leave the title at Green Anole? Side note, that female has a really pretty pattern!
