The dewlap is an extendible flap of skin ordinarily folded under the throat of a lizard. Lizards, particularly those in the genus Anolis, extend their dewlaps during interactions with conspecifics (their own species), other lizards, and potential predators. Dewlap extension is effected by movements of elements of the hyoid apparatus. This was paraphrased from research material held by the Department of zoology, University of Tennessee.

∙ 11y agoThe male green anole lizard will arch his back, like doing pushups, and puff out a colorful, reddish bubble in his throat. This is how he attracts a female mate. It is similar to the ritual by male peacocks in spreading their tail feathers to show their colorful display in an effort to impress a female. The male lizard will perform this ritual often times for hours in an effort to "catch the ladies eye".

Why do lizards do push ups?
Lizards work out for the same reason a guy at the gym might: as a display of strength. And with lizards, as can be the case with men, the push-ups also mean "get out of my territory." And a new study finds some lizards make a morning and evening routine out of the displays. Four species of male Jamaican lizards called anoles greet each dawn with vigorous push-ups, head bobs and a threatening extension of a colorful flap of skin on the neck. They repeat the ritual at dusk.
Would a small yellow green and brown tree lizard make a good pet?
any lizard that lives in trees is not suggested to begginners, or on occasion, experts. i suggest desert types, mainly blue bellies. I used to raise them. When you decide, i am extremely knowledgeable about pet lizards and i would help all i can with any questions you have at all.
