So, judging by the pictures given...

Is it a girl?

Anyone? :(

I don't see the hemipenial bulge so I'd guess it to be a girl, taper looks abrupt..If you place a mirror in with it and its a male theres a good chance it will display its dewlap..

It is very hard to tell the sex of an anole by physical appearance because both males and females can have dewlaps and white dorsal stripes/spotting.

We were holding it and our current male (we're confident our current is a male) and they both did the head bobbing with dewlap extension, so we decided for the sake of this one (it was so little!) that we'd return it.

even females will head bob when the dom male does it. best way to tell is stick it in a cage for a few weeks by itself then put it in front of a mirror if it is a male it will try to fight with its reflection. i've had females that bob there heads at other females then fight(will chase each other around the cage) usually the new one to the cage gets picked on till it learns the pecking order of who's in charge and to not lay in one of the others preferred basking spot

it could either be a small male or a female

female dewlaps are smaller also more rounded and the males comes farther forward more or less kind of oblong

if full grown anybody can spot a male in even a crowded cage males heads are usually bigger kind of triangle shaped and females and young heads are more like in the pic you put up.

but from all the time i spent dealing with anoles I'll say thats a young male no more then 2 years old.

also he looks a Lil on the thing side to me can't see his fat reserve at the base of tail and in the pics of his belly can see a dimple that shouldn't be there with a well feed anole. I'll take it it's a wild caught

ment to say lil on the thin side not thing. hate this only got 10 minutes to redo
