This work focuses on the optical communication of the Green Anole lizard. Experiment group consisted of eleven specimen, six males and five females, each being kept separately. The animals were being kept at constant temperature and humidity levels. Seven predetermined behavior patterns were examined, occuring during a contact of two specimen, wheter two males or a male and a female. For each behavior pattern, three time data were measured duration, frequency and latency. When examining two males, size difference and territorial status of territory owner/intruder were taken into account. Each interaction was documented, in total sixty videos were made, each fifteen minutes long. The territory status positively influenced the duration and latency of Headbob C, size difference positively influenced the duration and latency of Nuchal crest and the latency of Extended throat. Sex of the animal positively influenced the duration of Dewlap. Territorial status, size differnce or sex had no influence on the rest of the behavior patterns.
