What is the approximate total length of a fully grown Anolis carolinensis?

Up to about six inches from snout to tail end

The size of the well-known *Anolis carolinensis*, or Carolina anole, is relatively modest when describing a fully grown adult specimen. Measurements generally indicate that they attain a maximum total length of approximately six inches, measured precisely from the tip of the snout all the way to the terminal point of the tail. This measurement emphasizes the small stature of the reptile, often noted as being small enough to fit comfortably within an average adult's palm, although the tail contributes substantially to that overall length.
