The stowaway - green or brown anole?

Hi again. Our stowaway is doing a lot better now. Thanks Esther for the tip on the misting. I had water in the container at first & didn't know she wouldn't drink it. I misted the container after your message & she ran right over and drank something. Our little lizard was thirsty!

I have been doing a little reading on the anoles in the past 2 days. How can I tell if my little lizard is a green or brown anole? I think she is a girl because of the dorsal stripe and I can not see any dewlap. But, maybe this is because the lizard is so young? She is only an inch (1.5 if the tail was whole) long. Now that she is warmer & fed, her colors and markings are getting darker. She is brown all over now. I think when she was greenish brown, she was just pale? The star pattern on her eyes & head is much more visible as well as the markings on her legs. It sounds like a brown to me from the colors, but I can't find any dewlap and also she is so small. Is there anything else I can look for? Any clues as to her age?

Thanks! Latisha
