 Green Anole Sexing Help

I just got my two green anoles earlier today and I checked all of them at the pet store to find the biggest ones and also to sex them by looking at their post-anal scales. I found two females and purchased them. But now that I have them home, I am worried that one of them may be a boy. What should I do if the "she" really is a "he"? Both of them have been green since I placed them in their enclosure and they actually sat together for about 10 minutes. They are not being hostile towards each other at all. Would the male mate with the female too many times? Would I have lots of babies?? I do not want babies. I have a 15 day warranty, should I just take him/her back?

What is the best thing to do? Take the risk because they are getting along really well, or take him/her back and find one that I am sure is a female?

Please help...

I would take the male back and exchange him for a female. There is a picture of postanal scales on my care sheet.

I am having the same problem! I can see that one of my anoles is a boy but I think what I thought was a she just might be a he!!!!
