Your anole's would be either green or brown ANOLE'S.
Since you edited your post, I'll edit mine.
Ive read somewhere that Anoles need UV lighting, I'm sure if thats correct, but better safe than sorry. Feed them as many crickets as they will eat in about 10 or 15 minutes and remove the extras and try again later, they should be be fed one every day or every 2 days.
under which forum would these be in?

You have the green anolis, scientific is anolis anolis.
yes, Anolis do need UV bulbs, but they are hardy buggers, and if you properly supplement them, I have heard they can go without UV... Buy some multi-vitamin and calcium powder for them... Feed 3-5 crickets 3-5 times a week per gecko I think it was, and you might want a small dish of small mealworms... Your set up sounds good. What are you using for substrate? don't use sand (even reptile made) or dirt/wood chips/ soil/ stuff or anything. Use stuff like paper towel, or, my favourite, coconut fiber (a BIG brick from your local pet store should be about $7.50... put it in water, for 1/2 an hour,. and it is easily enough for your tank.)
