About Anolis luciae Garman, 1887

Anolis luciae Garman, 1887 has variable coloration and markings. Its dorsal base color shifts from brown in drier habitats to bright green in wetter areas. Some populations have blue coloration along the sides, while its ventral surface may be white or yellowish. The area surrounding the eye can be white, blue, or green. Males can be entirely patternless, or have reticulations or chevron-shaped patterns on the dorsal surface. Females are duller in color than males, and may have a mid-dorsal stripe or dark chevron markings. Anolis luciae is widespread across Saint Lucia and its offshore islets. Its preferred natural habitat is forest, found at altitudes ranging from sea level to 700 m (2,300 ft), and it also occurs in agricultural areas. Anolis luciae reproduces by laying eggs, meaning it is oviparous.
