True, there is certainly sand in FL where Anoles abound but they don't typically hunt their food on the beach but rather in the trees, etc. Whereas with sand as the only substrate it can get its food it is bound to get a little sand each time. Even if the crix climb snad tends to stick to everything. In the wild it may get it occasionally but not every meal. Obviously if it catches winged things (in captivity or the wild) it doesn't get a mouthful of anything but the meal 
Just my thoughts,

>>I don't see why they say not to use sand because anoles don't come from sandy places... No, anoles come from coastal places that are in large part made of sand. Sand isn't the best substrate and has a risk of impaction, but most anole species do come from relatively sandy places.
