Hi,
first IMHO opinion a 65 g reptarium is neither good for knight anoles nor for tree dragons.
It does not keep humidity as well as required and is significantly too small for knight anoles or larger Gonocephalus species.
For both I wouzld recommend a minimum height of 4 ft.
For larger Gonocephalus species like grandis or bellii, you also should go for a tank of at least 200g.
If you never kept Tree dragons before, you should not try to mix them with anything.
Gonocephalus are more stress sensitive than most other lizards and most imports are close to death.
They need very careful acclimatization and often have a high parasite load.
So nothing for beginners.
The most frequently impoirted species are G. chamaeleontinus (pic..oöld pic of one of my males) and G. grandis.
From my expereinces, G. bellii are among the more robust ones and easier to establish than most of the others. G. kuhilii are very srtress sensitive and the others are somewhere in between.
For G. chamaelontinus imports males are often in a much worse shape than females.
Hope that helps
Ingo
