The Saban anole (Anolis sabanus) is a species of anole lizard that is endemic to the island of Saba, a Dutch municipality in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles. It is common all over the island.
Males measure from 29–72 millimetres (1.1–2.8 in) (snout-to-vent), and females measure from 23–25 millimetres (0.91–0.98 in).[1] Males and females both have a pale grey to tan colored bodies and pale yellow with a green or orange tint dewlap, but the males can be differentiated by additional dark patches covering their bodies. Females additionally have a mid-dorsal stripe. The species eats mostly small insects.[2]
Biologists believe the origin of the species may come from Saint Croix, but that it is older than the present-day anoles found on Sint Eustatius, Saint Martin and Saint Kitts.[2]
Within the bimaculatus series, it belongs to the Guadeloupean-Dominican clade of anoles, which includes A. marmoratus on the Guadeloupe Archipelago, A. lividus on Montserrat, A. nubilus on Redonda, and A. oculatus on Dominica.[3]
