Okay first things first you absolutly cannot house 2 different species together. Second you enclosure is way to small for all of those critters at once. For the anoles you need at least a 10 gallon for 1-2 green anoles. Not sure about the skinks because ive never owned one but im positive the 3 gallon is to small for those 2 skinks as well. So you will need 2 separate tanks, 1 10 gallon for you anoles and 1 for your skinks. And i cant quite understand what your trying to say at about the gender of your lizards. Not sure if your saying you have 1 male and female of each species or that you have 2 male anoles and 2 female skinks. If you have 2 green anoles together you went wrong with another thing. Unless you have an extremely large enclosure for your anoles only 1 male should be in the tank or alse they will fight and could possibly kill each other. So if thats the case you will need yet another tank to separate your males.
