Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Anolis ID (Guyana import)
This species is exported from Guyana and collected around Georgetown. Is this A. aeneus or A. roquet? They are exported under the name of A. roquet. See attached pic of a male. Let me know your thoughts on the ID and why. Thanks!

Sort of looks like a female aeneus. Hard to tell from that photo though. Lots of variation in aeneus. But the babies and juveniles are pretty specific looking. I produced lots of these in captivity over the summer. Easy species.

Thanks for the reply. The pic is of an adult male. The males can sport a baby blue to greenish-blue coloration at times. Females are brown to gray. Can you post pictures of your adult male and female A. aeneus? Thanks!

First photo male, second female and collage is adult Male and juvenile male and female. Females are born with a stripe down their back. Makes for easy sexing.

Great pics! Yep, that's Anolis aeneus. Okay, these Anolis have been imported from Guyana for years under the name A. roquet.

Aeneus belongs to the roquet group so it's easy to see how they can be confused. Plus they aren't native to Guyana so that doesn't help either. It's very possible they can and do hybridize with roquet.
