Ficus benjamina are easy to grow indoors, but you'd have to check whether or not they are toxic to anoles, I am fairly certain they arent toxic. F. benjamina is used in all my indoor lizard incolsures. It's easy to find so check up on it.

And remember, there are thousands of plant species which thrive in rainforests. Some plants which do well in warm moist conditions are sansevieria (the snake plant and its shorter relations), syngonium, the vinelike Ficus species such as Ficus pumila, rex begonias, Bertolonia, calathea (loves misting), ti plant, fittonia (loves misting), hypoestes, and prayer plants.
