I saw what at first looked like 2 very unhappy, fighting anoles from a distance, When I got closer the larger was brown and ontop holding onto the smaller one who was green. He continued to hold on while they slid down the glass and then when they fell to the floor he continued to hold on then grabbed and was holding the little one's back of the neck

I thought I had 2 males and neither one has the white stripe on its back. Sorry I don't really have any good pics as my comera isn't the greatest these days. The little one remained green the whole time.

I have noticed they tend to hang out together during the day and like to sleep together. Many times I'll see the larger one, Oscar, sleeping with his head on Kermit and both are green. I had to laugh at the Kermit the other day. After misting down the aquarium the crickets ran up the branches and one was sitting on Kermit's head. Kermit paid no attention to them as they were crawling around trying to find a place to rest.

So could I have a male and female from their actions?

Either you have a pair, or you could have a very submissive second male who only wants to live....you will want to make sure that they are both eating because one can dominate the other.and stop feeding altogether.....Crickets that dont get eaten really should be removed...it may be comical to you, but the crickets can actually bite the lizards if THEY are hungry.....good luck! .

I agree with Lyn....sounds like a pair or else the second one is very submissive. Definitely take out any crickets in the tank if the anoles aren't actively eating. I've seen what crickets can do to anoles, and it's horrible.

Thanks for the cricket info. I asked the guy at the petstore how many to feed at one time for 2. He said just dump the whole bag in and let them in, He sold me 30 I personally haven't seen any in the tank for a few days now, but Ken said he saw one yesterday. I've also never seen them eat. I did watch the little one getting excited and what looked like stalking the crickets when I first put them in the tank. Next time I'll take a few out of the bag for feeding and keep the rest for the next day or two.

The person I purchased these guys from said her son fed them 15 crickets once a week. With your experience what is a good number. My little anole is about 5-6" from snout to end of tail and the bigger one is probably 8-9" I'm guessing here as I've never handled them.

Though it's usually there, females won't always have the white stripe that so easily distinguishes them from the males, so you still could have a male/female pair. Look at the heads. Mature males have noticeably larger heads in relation to body size than the females. However, it sounds like you could possibly have an adult male and a submissive juvenile male, rather than a male/female pair, as the head difference won't be as obvious in a juvie.

These links might help you out. They depict mating pairs of green anoles. Notice the difference in head size and you'll see what I mean. The bodies will be roughly the same, but the male's head will be huge.

Oh yes, and just for the sake of knowledge, you have northern green anoles (Anolis carolinensis carolinensis). The southern subspecies (A. c. seminolus) isn't as common (or even found) in the pet trade to the best of my knowledge, and they possess a green/grey dewlap as opposed to the trademark pink one of the northern subspecies.
