There is no way to 'tame' an anole. Sometimes you'll get lucky and have one that doesn't mind being picked up but most of them will always run from you. Anoles are 'display' lizards and not the kind that likes to be handled. Being handled causes them stress and that will shorten their lifespan. If you want something that likes to be held buy something like a breaded dragon, iguana, leopard gecko, or crested gecko.

Do not keep 2 males in a single tank unless you want 1 to die! You'll need to divide them and keep them from being able to see each other. They may get along if there are 2 basking spots but the chances on that are slim to nil.
