In Florida, most are gray-brown with a cream-white (pale yellow) dewlap, but more greenish individuals with a yellow-edged red dewlap also occur. It is a fairly small anole, reaching up to 12.7 cm (5.0 in) in length.[4][5] Subspecies Gray-brown with cream-white (pale yellow) dewlap  Green with yellow-edged red dewlap Subspecies listed alphabetically. Some of these may warrant recognition as separate species.[2]
