This isnt the first Anole I have had and i was wondering does cypress mulch make a good substrait for them?

YES
Caging Substrate: When picking a substrate for your Anole, be sure that whatever you choose will hold humidity. Also make sure you don't get any pine or cedar chips or shavings because both can be poisonous to your animals. I would suggest Eco-Earth, Repti-mark, potting soil, aspen chips or cypress mulch. Of course, this list is not all-inclusive. As long as it can hold humidity and it is not one of the poisonous substrates already mentioned, whatever you use should be fine.
I also add a layer of moss to the layer of substrate. This will add to the humidity of the cage and also provide the Anoles with a hiding spot to allow them to feel more secure. Additionally, you should add plant, branches and other decorations to the cage. It will not only help add to the humidity when you spray down the cage but it will also provide them with hiding spots and add to the overall naturalistic look of the environment.

I have had great luck with cypress mulch with a variety of herps.

It's an excellent choice, looks natural and holds humidity well.
