i not sure of anole that color but i do know there are basilisks of that color but if your beginning anoles are better lizards i think, and u should check the color issue on a search site because there are many diff. species of anole and since ive never had one or really read up on them i dont know much about care, srry

 I was wondering....

i dont think there is a anole that is green and blue. hope this helps and here is a care sheet....
Length up to 8.5".
Temperature/Humidity:
Daytime temperature 75º - 90º.
Basking lamp temperature 90º - 95º.
Nighttime temperature 60º - 70º.
The humidity for these lizards should be kept at or near 70%.
Lighting:
These lizards require 8-10 hours of ultraviolet light.
A timer will assist in maintaining an accurate schedule.
Feeding/Watering:
A diet consisting of a variety of vitamin/calcium dusted insects such as:
Crickets
Mealworms
Waxworms
Other worms that may be included in their diet include:
Earthworms
Red wigglers
Butterworms
Feed adults 3-4 times per week.
Some juveniles can be feed twice a day during their growing period.
Habitat/Housing:
A minimum of a 10 gallon aquarium is recommended.
A screen lid is essential for proper air exchange.
The habitat must include a high basking area, hiding area, and "cool" area.
Green anoles can be kept communally as long as they are observed frequently.
Substrate (Bedding):
Bed-Beast is an ideal substrate for anole terrariums.
General Info:
Anoles thrive in planted terrariums. Consider purchasing live plants to enhance the lizard’s environment.
Responsible pet ownership begins on the trip home!
For the best health and well being of your new pet, it is important to remember to take it directly home. If you have more shopping or errands to complete, consider picking up your pet last. This will ensure the animal encounters the least amount of stress possible. Have the new terrarium completely set up before bringing your new friend "home". Additionally, make sure your new family member is allowed enough time to adjust to its new home. Wait three or four days before attempting to handle your pet and always supervise children when they interact with pets.
Size:
Length up to 8.5"

Temperature/Humidity:
Ideal daytime temperature for these lizards should range between 75º and 90º. Additionally, a basking lamp should be used on one end of the enclosure to maintain a local temperature of 90º - 95º. Nighttime temperature should remain between 60º and 70º. The humidity for these lizards should be kept at or near 70%.

Lighting:
All diurnal (mainly active during the day) lizards require 8-10 hours of ultraviolet lighting to maintain good health. The use of a timer will assist in maintaining an accurate schedule of light periods.

Feeding/Watering:
Green anoles are mainly insectivorous (insects are the majority of diet). Therefore, they do well on a diet consisting of a variety of vitamin/calcium dusted insects such as crickets, mealworms and waxworms. Worms, such as red wigglers, butterworms, and earthworms can also be offered. Adults should be fed 3-4 times per week; some juveniles can be fed small insects twice daily during their growing period.

Habitat/Housing:
Successful permanent maintenance requires at least a 10 gallon aquarium. A screen lid is essential for proper air exchange. The enclosure must include a basking area, several hiding spaces, several climbing branches and a "cool" area to allow for thermoregulation. Green anoles can be kept communally as long as they are observed frequently. If any aggression or territorial behavior is observed, it is best to separate the aggressor from the community.

Substrate (Bedding):
Bed-A-Beast is an ideal substrate for anole terrariums.

General info:
Anoles thrive in planted terrariums. Consider purchasing live plants to enhance the lizard’s environment. Not only are live plants attractive, they help to maintain proper humidity levels within the terrarium. Anoles are great to display in a "mixed-species" exhibit. In other words, anoles typically will share space with other similar sized, docile reptiles and amphibians. Try green treefrogs, gray treefrogs, house geckos, Mediterranean geckos, and blue-tailed skinks. When choosing mixed species, always select animals of the same size and temperament.
