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.
