You're welcome Tom. I just found out myself. It seems a pretty clear way to separate them (if the dewlap is extended).

Scott, thanks for the info! I changed the names on a few others I posted that are Anolis cristatellus.

"The best characteristic to distinguish the species is the dewlap. The crested anole dewlap is yellow with an orange border, and the brown anole is the opposite." http://www.bio.miami.edu/pze/anoles.html
