Anolis carolinensis
This lizard can reach a total length of about 22 cm. Females are slightly smaller (about 16 cm). The male has a dewlap – pink or red in color – that he can extend from his chin as a courtship or territorial display. This dewlap display is often accompanied by head bobbing and “pushups.” Green Anoles can have a green or a brown body color, depending on mood, time of day, surroundings, and temperature, with a white underbelly. Males are of solid color across the back, and females have a white stripe along the backbone.
