Mixed species tanks are feasable iif you do your research. only mix compatible parasite free species and use big tanks. I do mix species in almost all of my tanks and since over 30 years this works well for me .
BUT: Never mix turtles and Lizards. Many turtles would not only try to eat lizards, but also constantly infest the tank with Entamoeba invadens which kills all lizards veryx reliably (BTW RES are NOT small turtles).
YOur post does not sound like you are ready to mix species. If you however insist, buy a 30 g tall tank, create a setup for green anoles and oput 1,12 green anoles and 1,1 Hemidactylus turcuicus in it. That mostly works well even for leess experiences. Instead of the Hemidactylus you may choose Hyla cinera, but then you have to tranfer those to an extra tank if you want to breed them.
If you want to spend the money on a tank which is at least 2.5 ft tall AND is long (at least 3 ft) than mix green ANoles with Takydromus sexlineatus.
These are combinations which I may recommend to a beginner.
But a mixed species tasnk always needs a closer eye and a smarter herper than a single species setup.
Even though mixing species sometimes is a better idea than keeping one species pairs of solitary animasl in the same cage... an endless topic
