Also the dangerous thing about bark, friend, is that it can carry tiny perisites or eggs of perisites which can hatch --then get inside the anoles vent area and infect them with desease OR WORSE!!!.
I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND CORK. Its soft yet has a ruff enough surface that they can rub against if they are having troubles shedding.

I don’t know why you would go for sand, because they are tropical lizards and have different substrate requirements--something that can hold and release moisture. Whether it be dull wood chippits or cocoanut shell chopped up (ext)--sand is inappropriate for their type, but is suitable for other reptiles.

Sincerely yours
Nikke

Nikke what you said about sand i supose you are right its not sutible for them but it also is not bad it will not hurt them in any kind of way and some sand is good for them but yes there are many other good things for them also there is a type of like a foam mat that is blue and sometinmes green that works good and one thing i forgot is you should have a sponge in your water dish

I agree, sand is a bad idea. We use bed-a -beast and it works great.. Holds moisture well and is easy to clean.
