Temperature: Anoles need a basking area near the top of their terrarium that's around 85°F. The temperature should gradually decrease towards the bottom of the terrarium, where it should be around room temperature. 

Humidity: Anoles prefer a high humidity level of around 60–70%. You can use a hygrometer to measure the humidity. To increase humidity, you can: 
Mist the enclosure with chlorine-free water 2–3 times a day 
Use a cool mist humidifier or fogger at night Use a moisture-retaining substrate like coconut fiber or moss 

Lighting: Anoles need UVB lighting to metabolize calcium. A 5.0 full spectrum UVB bulb should be used for 12–14 hours a day. The bulb should be replaced annually.

Food: Anoles are insectivores and should eat a balanced diet of gut-loaded insects, like crickets. You can feed them canned, vacuum packed, or live insects daily or every other day.

Enclosure: Anoles are active climbers, so their enclosure should support that activity. A recommended cage size for an adult anole is around 24″ H x 36″ L x 24″ D.

Hiding places: Anoles need spaces to hide, like small rock caves or hollow logs.

Water: Anoles need a shallow water dish for drinking water and to provide humidity. You should clean the water dish regularly.

Cleaning: You should spot-clean the terrarium regularly to remove feces, soiled substrate, dead insects, and uneaten food.
