Answer 2

I was in error about the brown dorsal stripe...here is the proper info on sexing green anoles:

Sexing
Adults reach ~7 inches snout-tail length (stl). Wild specimens of 10 to 12 inches reported; 9 inches considered big in captivity. This may be due to the fact that they are not generally cared for properly in captivity (diet, heat, lighting) and so do not grow as well and die earlier than in the wild...(about 4 years in captivity).

Males are larger than females and have a dewlap (throat fan) which they use to display to females and rivals. Some males have a dorsal crest (beginning just behind the head) which is raised as part of the threat display (typically with the dewlap extended). Males have enlarged post-anal pores (found on the tail below the vent).

Females, and juveniles of both sexes, may have a white stripe down the back. Females of some species have dewlaps - if they do, they are smaller than those of males, and displayed less frequently.

You can usually tell very easily. Males will have a large colorful flap of skin nder their chins and females will not. Its the easiest way to tell and a surefire way. Just look for a fold of skin and sometimes you can even catch him pushing it out and extending it.
