how big is your tank? anyway anoles are solitary creatures and I would not advise putting more than two in one tank

usually 3 is ok if you have at least a 15-20 gallon tank. It is ok to introduce others later as far as i know i hope so i plan on getting another soon as well. They may be solitariy but they also are very affectionate towards each other when in a community it seems like. Just make sure you have 2 females to 1 male. If you want a 4th that is male you will need a 40-50 gallon tank with multiple basking spots.

I have 7 anoles in a 55 gal tank. You can introduce new anoles at a later time but I would not advise putting males in, only females. Males should only be introduced at the same time.

If you were to introduce a new male to an already established group all you have to do is take everybody out the tank, rearrange everything in the tank, and then put them all back in at the same time. It’s always worked for me and I learned it from when I used to own fish. I tried to buy new neon tetras even though there were already guppies in the tank and all of the neons killed themselves by swimming into the filter. When I tried again I did the procedure I just mentioned and never had a problem.
