Question
ok so i have 2 anole lizards and thay share the same tank and seem to be getting along great and every thing but how do i know if 1 is a girl?  is thare any thing i can do to find out?

Answer
Hello Victor,

Well, are they brown anoles?  Usually the females have a white stripe down their backs as they get older, & the males don't.  The brown males as they get older, they tend to get a crest too.  
If they are getting along, then, you either have 2 females or a male & a female.  If you find you have 2 males, you will know it as they will become territorial when they get older.
