I can’t figure out if my anole is a boy or girl! It has those two scales under where its tail is. But it also has that faint white line down its back. Can anyone help me?

it is probably a male because if the line is that faint than it must not be a female but a male with an outgrown line...

also...the white line has nothing to do with gender...yes males typically outgrow them but some dont. In fact, i just got a hatchling without any line

Sexing Green Anoles is really quite simple. If it has two enlarged postanal scales and a hemipenile bulge, it is a male. If it doesn’t have either, it is a female.

If it has the enlarged postanal scales, it is a male.

If you’re having trouble sexing them still, see this thread: Link It has visual aids.

another way to find out wether its a male or a female is a male has a pink flap called a dewlap under its chin. a femal dosent.

Incorrect. Both males AND females have dewlaps. The male’s is usually more flamboyant than a female’s but not always. Once again, if it has a pair of enlarged postanal scales, it is a male. If it has a hemipenile bulge, it is a male. Otherwise, it is a female.

The hemipenile bulge is where the male reproductive organs are stored while not actively mating.
