Anolis Allisoni are so rare in the hobby (perhaps because like other anoles they don't fare so well in captivity). Your substrate should be good as long as it isn't wet, just moist.

There are tons of Anolis carolinensis where I live, and I've watched them for years. Heck, I've found them in my house, lol. I know they prefer to be off the ground, arboreal like my chams. Do your cages allow them that space and verticle perches?

I know they prefer feeding off the ground. Do you provide feeding cups in branches?

I know them to be mostly solitary. I don't really think they like sharing space. I've seen them come face-to-face and get stressed.

Surprisingly, I've also seen them come in numbers to my Humming bird feeders on my front porch and drink the nectar; it must benefit them in some way. I have a couple pics somewhere. Heck, maybe they would enjoy that.

You obviously need to provide UVB to every enclosure.

Where in the world did you acquire actual Cuban anoles? I would really hate to see yours die.
