It is various shades of gray all over, occasionally with a yellowish tint around its eye. Females have subtle striping on their back near their hindlimbs, and a stripe on each flank. As Redonda is almost entirely treeless, the Redonda Anole spends most of its time on the ground and seeks shade under large rocks.
