Description
Males are bright blue with heavy black throat stripes, and visible preanal pores and hemipenile bulges. The females range from brown or bronze to bright green, and have little to no black on their throat. Females can easily be confused with juvenile or socially suppressed males that are also green, sometimes with a blueish cast. The underside of both sexes is orange. Colors of individuals vary according to mood and temperature—males may range from black or gray to brilliant electric blue. Females may range from dark brown to brilliant green with turquoise highlights. Adult snout-vent length is 5 to 8 cm.
