Anolis ferreus, the Morne Constant anole, also known as the Marie-Gallant anole, is a species of anole lizard that is endemic to the island of Marie-Galante, which is part of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles.[2][3] It has been recorded as an escapee in Fort Myers, Florida, but does not appear to have become established.[3]
Males can reach 11.9 cm (4.7 in) in snout-to-vent length, while females are significantly smaller, at 6.5 cm (2.6 in). It has a yellow-green dorsal surface, and a blue-gray head with yellow around the eye. Males have prominent tail crests.[2]
It is primarily active during the middle part of the day, retreating to high perches in the late afternoon.
It was formerly considered a subspecies of A. marmoratus.
