Lizard for screen cage

I am wanting to set up a tall screen terrarium that is around 16"×16"×30". I'd sort of enjoy having a smaller lizard of which I can keep more than one of in the size cage. I was interested in cuban knight anoles, green anoles, golden geckos, and marbled geckos, but they seem to perfer glass enclosures. If you happen to have any suggestions that would be great, I'd like to have more begginer level critters. I'm open to snakes and lizards, amphibians are okay, but reptiles are perfered. I can get an atom a ticket misting system too, if that is needed.

Hi, I know Cuban knight anoles need a bigger enclosure then what you have listed, Cubans get to be about 24 inches long, with the rule of thumb amongst most lizards is this times the length of your lizard by 2 or 3 for length and height and by 1 for depth, there are exceptions to the rules.

Now I really don't know anything about geckos that much other then tokays Leo's and crested.

You can keep green anoles in a screen cage. As long as you can keep their temp and humidity at the right levels without extreme high and low changes. I kept 12 green anoles in a 24 x 24 x 36 all screen enclosure I put a humidifier in the room where they were that had a built in cage to turn on and off when it reached a certain level one uvb strip along the top and 2 heat laps using regular clear incandescent bulbs. Just have multiple basking spots with lots of real or fake plant clutter for hiding but remember 1 m to 11 f is what I had
