Its just my opinion that you shouldn't mix species although it would look very nice and be all naturalistic.However salamanders overheat easily and I am pretty sure anoles need a decent amount of heat, not to mention making sure everything gets its food and all the waste that would need to be cleaned every day.However if you want to try go for it and good luck.

i agree with pacman.....its not wise to mix.....but still if u wanna go ahead....by all means......it would be hard to mantain to start off with....as the reptiles have different needs as per individual......

my advise?.....dun mix.....should probaly get a few smaller tanks for individual species...
