Males often display bold yellow highlights on the head and a large, vivid yellow dewlap used in visual displays. Their bodies are slender but muscular, with long limbs adapted for agile climbing and perching. The tail is long and expressive, aiding in balance among branches. Females are generally smaller and have a reduced dewlap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"905\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"842\"\u003eDistribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Endemic to the island of Marie-Galante in the Lesser Antilles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"1133\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"919\"\u003eHabitat:\u003c\/strong\u003e This species inhabits dry to moderately humid forests, scrublands, gardens, and forest edges. They favour sunlit perches on tree trunks, branches, and shrubs, using elevated positions for both hunting and display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1135\" data-end=\"1520\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1135\" data-end=\"1149\"\u003eBehaviour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morne Constant Anoles are diurnal, arboreal, and highly territorial. Males perform frequent head-bobs, dewlap extensions, and push-up displays to communicate with rivals and attract mates. They are active insectivores and may also consume small arthropods and occasional plant matter. Their alertness and quick movements make them well adapted to exposed perching sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u0026lt; data-start=\"1522\" data-end=\"1525\"\u0026gt;\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1549\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003eCaptive Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1924\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1564\"\u003eEnclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provide a vertically oriented enclosure at least \u003cstrong data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1655\"\u003e36 × 18 × 36 inches (90 × 45 × 90 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e for an adult or pair.
