Definition

Knight anoles grow to a length of 13 to 20 inches (33 to 51 cm). They are the largest of the Genus Anolis. The snout is long and wedge-shaped. The tail is slightly compressed with a serrated upper edge. Each toe is expanded to form an adhesive pad. The adhesive pad occupies the central portion of the toe and has an elongated form. The adhesive toe pads allow the anoles to easily run up smooth, vertical surfaces, or run body downward on a horizontal plane.
