i dunno.... because iv heard when you put them in groups, like 2 males and 3 females, then they’ll fight less than if it was just 2 males..... also, look at pet-shops, they keep many multiple males together

You should not put two males together unless they are introduced at the same time into the terrarium.
The best amount of space for 2 anoles is no smaller than 10 gallons.

If it helps any the setup that I have is:
55 gallon tank
automatic mister
medium waterfall
bed a beast substrate
lots of things to climb and hide around
2 males and 8 females Bahaman anoles

also on a side note. dont know if its true but i have in my terrarium many different levels for them to sit on becuse i have observed that they have some what of a hiarchy (sorry about the speeling if wrong).
And the two males will sit at the very top level on opposite sides of the terrarium and watch over the everything. Kinda like birds do.
hope all this babbling helps.

The only reason I ask is because I had the two males together (before I knew they were both males) and a house gecko in a 10 gallon and they began fighting after a couple of days, so I seperated them. Now I’ve noticed the male with the house gecko is always stressed because the gecko has attacked it (I’ve only seen it once, and I don’t want to keep him in there). I’d rather get a bigger tank for the two, instead of having three tanks, more lights, and more expenses.

You can get an aquarium separater at your local pet shop that will turn your aquarium into multiple aquariums. Little less expensive.
Might help ya.
The dividers just slide into a track that goes inside the aquarium.
