There are a few different geckos that you can put with your green anoles. Not all geckos will do, only those of a similar size and calm mild-mannered temperament should be mixed.
House geckos get up to 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches long and share a similar diet to the green anoles. Unlike the green anole though, they are nocturnal and not diurnal. So as the anoles are up and awake and active the house geckos will be fast asleep. This can work out so long as you make sure not to seriously disturb the house geckos sleeping pattern and avoid sharp drops in temperature at night. The minimum night temperature should be 65F.
If you’re weary about the nocturnal/diurnal mixture then I would suggest going with one or two small day geckos of the same species (preferably female). Gold dust day geckos, peacock day geckos and leaf-tail day geckos should fair well with green anoles. You will have to supplement their diet with bannana and/or peach and/or mango baby food (preferably mixed with calcium/D3 powder) once a week. This is absolutely fine as the green anoles will also accept it as part of their diet.
Aside from geckos you may also keep green anoles with brown anoles, pigmy skinks, asian long-tailed grass lizards, and treefrogs. Make sure to thoroughly research any lizards before purchasing so that you may properly accommodate to their needs. And when getting a new lizard to introduce to the community it is always best to quarantine it for about a week to a month and make sure that they take a visit to the vet. Most captive lizards are caught from the wild and may have parasites.
