The specific name, garmani, is in honor of American herpetologist Samuel Garman.
There are recent records from Grand Cayman, but it is unclear if it has become established there.
[4] The preferred natural habitat of A. garmani is forest, at altitudes from sea level to 1,300 m (4,300 ft), but it is also found on large trees in gardens.
[7] The male has an orange-centered yellow dewlap, which is small and dusky in the female.
[1] A. garmani preys upon invertebrates and small anoles, and it also eats fruits.
