Question
do bahama anoles stay brown or can they also change color to a vivid green? Also do some male bahama anoles have a white line down there back because mine has a dewlap with a white line down its back and im not sure what its sex is?"

Answer
Hello Mario, Bahama Anoles do not change to green. Green Anoles can change from brown/green/brown/green again. The white line is not a accurate way of determining gender. Many females and males have the white stripe. Some females also have the dewlap. The only accurate way to determine the gender is the preanal pores. If you can send me a picture of his underside near the vent area I may be able to tell the sex.
