Anoles are also great pets to have them at home. They are a little bit less social than long tails. They are always ready to run if they see any movement around them. So, you see them more when you are not too close to the terrarium. Because they are also exotic animals, they also like tropical climates with enough humid and heat. The recommended humid level is 70 % and temperature is pretty much the same for these lizards. These lizards are also very social in the sense that they can live in community tanks. However, because males are territorial it is advisable that you have one male and one female in a 20 gallon tank or more than one male in a larger tank. Pretty much everything is the same as what you do for long tails.
One cool thing about anoles is that they can change their skin color depending on their stress level and climate. They tend to turn green when the enclosure is hotter. By changing their color to brown, they can get more heat on their skin to adjust their body temperature. Anoles do not drink water from a water dish. In the wild, they get their water needs from the drops on the leafs. So misting the enclosure a couple of times a day is needed.
