No, they can't if you put an anole in with a bigger snake they will get eaten. Research on the web what animals can co-exist with anoles. Turtles, frogs, toads, would probably be fine.

Yes, Green Anoles can share the tank with other reptiles. This is also a time consuming process however. The main concern with Anoles and other reptiles living in the same quarter are environmental conditions they need, size, and temperament. You should not put a tropical lizard in with a dessert lizard. Small house geckos (not tokeyo) work well, along with tree frogs. There is a very large list so you have do some research on what lizards your local pet shops carry. Also before you add any lizard to your (established) tank they should remain isolated from the other lizards for a month to make sure they are clean and healthy. You should not cross contaminate food or switch items either. After the month period and everything is okay it doesn't matter. If you are interested in having an attractive tank I would look at creating a vivarium. The magazine Reptiles is a good way to learn if you are truly interested in herps.

No no no. If you put it in a tank with another reptile it may think it is food and try to eat it. But sadly you can add another anole lizard inside but if you want variety you will have to have more than one terranium. But please don't mix with other reptiles cause that can get a little ugly.

Yes you can grass lizards also know as long-tailed skinks they co-habitat well together. Also small green tree frogs, and other small frogs. Make sure they are compatible in size, as larger frogs, aka chubby, whites tree frog, red leg runners will eat anoles. I have put these species together long-tail skinks and anoles and they enjoy each others company and also eat the same diet. Good luck to you!!

As long as it's a big tank, sure! You want critters about the same size...green anoles, bahama anoles, longtailed grass lizards, and tree frogs as long as you aren't misting with a chlorinated water and
tree frogs also need access to fresh (unpooped in) dechlorinated water to sit in.

long tail skinks and anoles do fine together but don't put them in with a turtle. eventually the turtle will get big enough to eat the little lizards, mine did!
