what is the cheapest but comfiest design for my green anole lizards?

I would reccommend either upgrading to something three times the size, or getting two separate enclosures, seeing as how they are both male and will probably fight or kill each other. Anoles are aboreal, meaning they live in high places. Lots of branches and hiding places are necessary. A forest floor, like bark, is a good substrate, along with a misting in the morning. A few rocks on the floor is a nice touch, and will warm up under the heat. You will need a heat source and a UVB source (reptiglo 10.0 is a good UV brand), which can be rather pricey. The basking area should be at least 90F. All crickets should be dusted with a calcium powder to ensure proper growth and nutrition. If you are not willing to go the extra mile to provide a safe and healthy living environment for your anoles, you might as well not keep them at all and
