Males have a prominent pink to red dewlap used for display, while females often retain a faint dorsal stripe. Their bodies are built for climbing, with long limbs and adhesive toe pads. When basking or excited, individuals may intensify their green or reveal subtle bluish tones around the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"1159\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"983\"\u003eDistribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to the southeastern United States, including Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and eastern Texas, with introduced populations elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1363\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1173\"\u003eHabitat:\u003c\/strong\u003e This species inhabits warm, humid environments such as forests, swamps, gardens, and shrublands.
