Sexing

I have 3 anoles right now and would like to now how to sex them, they all have red pouches under chin, but 2 of them are larger than the other. The one that i am guessing is a male has a very large pouch and crest on top of his head. The other has a smaller poucth with no crest same with the third wicth i guess is a female.

Pics Would be great!

i have 3 green anoles and how i tell if they are a female or male is their snouts, because males are more rounded and female snouts are way more pointier. Also if you want them to mate you should just leave a male and female about the same size and age alone for awhile in their tank, reply for more Qs!

The males have a pair of enlarged postanal scales. Females don’t. The scales are present even in male embryos. You might need slight magnification to see them.
