Display of the dewlap is a territorial display. Are there any other anoles in the tank, or any other anoles that they could see? It’s basically staking that area as being owned by that anole. If there isn’t another basking spot and there are other anoles in the tank, there could be some minor issues. As long as there aren’t two male anoles in the tank (which I would assume not as that’s not a good idea) then it’s just normal behavior.

Ok , there is no other Anoles. So, basically he is saying he likes that Basking Spot and no1 else can take it. So, thats good. Thanx for explaining. You Helped me out alot because I thought it was a sign of sickness or struggle.

Thnx,
Justin
