Size: 20 gallon long
Lighting: Repti-Glo 5.0 backed by a Sun-Glo 50 watt tight beam for basking area
Humidity: In tank waterfall with pump setup. ultrasonic fogger installed.
Foliage(fake): One standing plant, 3 vine type plants that suction to side of tank. (installed these just today and the anoles havent left them since 
Climbing: One rather large(takes up on third of the tank) branch kinda thing. Reminds me of a tree root as it digs into the ground.
Substrate: Fir bark (will switch to soil most likely when i get the chance, but i figure ill wait a bit for them to get used to enclosure before i totally tear it down and put a new ground in it.
My temprature at basking spot(right side of tank) is about 93-95. the surrounding area is 90-92. the middle of the tank is about an 80-90 degree temprature. the far left of the tank, the waterfall area, is about 75-85, room temprature. The waterfall looks nice, has a nice running water sound which prolly helps generate a more natural feel, and i hear they LOVE running water from everyone ive read. My humidity was about 40-50% before i misted. about 70-80% after but shortly fell back to 40-50. the waterfall keeps the humidity in wet area about 60-70% now, and if i turn on fogger it jumps to 80%. I use fogger in the morning to simulate a fresh morning dew, and when my humidity needs a bump up. my main UV light is the repti-glo tube. my heat source is the spotlamp which i have targeted at a portion of the log thing about 4-6 inches away from bulb. it heats surrounding area, and it dissipates as it gets closer to water side, so im rather proud of my ability to maintain the three zones i may or may not get another vine type plant. i plan to add two more sets of gauges in each of the three zones so instead of moving them around i can constantly monitor each.
