Looks good! I assume you have a UVB light for the anoles? They need one. What were to happen if the anoles accidentally fell in the water? Would they drown? Sorry, im just curious..:)

Anyway, looks cool! Love the anoles :D

Nice! What are those divisions called? I'll always thought about making a river tank or a some other sort of planted tank.

wow NICE!

Can anoles swim?

Are you going to put anything in the water? Hopefully a big herbivorous thing?

lol the anoles can swim and in fact the stupid male has fallen in twice already, he just swam quickly to land and leaped up on the nearest plant as if nothing happened, the male i have noticed is not afraid of anything and is already actively hunting the few crickets i already put in there, the female wasent to enthused about food yet and i am hoping she is just settling in, if you google "river tank kits u should get some results steve;) they are expensive but u i picked up myn second hand for 120$

Those are some good looking anoles! I had no idea that they would be able to swim! Remember though, "full spectrum" doesn't always mean that it emits any UVB, you gotta check and see if it says it specifically.

Hey, Andrew, that looks really cool! The river kit looks great, I'd like to try a setup like that sometime. I wonder though if the anoles have enough dry area to live on. But that's a good thing that they can swim. You definitely should get some nice little tropical fish in there like some neon tetras. That would look really cool. Nice job! The anoles kind of look like day geckos too! :D
