Answer
Hi Maeson, I did not include the complete list of species in my profile but I do have experience with brown/ Bahaman anoles so I can give it a try! In order to sex your anole reliably it will have to close to adult size, that is when the gender characteristics will be most obvious. Juvenile anoles tend to all look like females. I have included some links with photos that you can compare your anole to. Male anoles are larger then females with thicker bodies, thicker necks and larger, broader heads. They will often have a ridge or crest starting on the back of the neck and extending down the back. Males also have a very prominent red/orange dewlap which they extend when they are defending their territory against other males. You can sometimes see a little baggy skin on the throat of males even when the dewlap is not extended. You might try putting a mirror up to the glass. An adult male will usually display his dewlap if he sees another "male" in his territory.
The females, in addition to being smaller often have a more obvious white line and diamond pattern running down their back. Some males will have this as well but it is far more common in females.

This first link has both a male and a female, you can see a bit of the neck ridge on the male and how much larger his head is then hers.

This link has two shots of males, one with the dewlap displayed and one without, notice the little bagginess in the throat of the second male. It also shows a female with the characteristic stripe and pattern down the back. You can see that her head is smaller, relative to her body.
