Well, anoles can be a bit difficult. They're really fast and hard to catch if they escape. They do require a heat lamp and need to be misted frequently. They don't really like to be held. I don't think it makes a difference whether they're green or bahaman. I had three green anoles a year or so ago..they lived for two or three years. They're sort of hard, well, for me they were since one kept laying eggs. ¬¬

Yes they require both UV and heat, also a good amount of humidity. I don't recommend anoles to younger reptile owners. Anoles are both temperamental (Not that they bite hard), skiddish and very fast. I will get into more detail if you want me to hehehe.
Edit: And they poop a lot

I'm pretty sure anoles are 'look, don't touch' kind of pets. Best bet for learning their care is googling 'green anole care sheet'.
If you want something easy to care for, and handleable, go for a crested gecko.

Yea I want another leo because I have good experience with them already but they are just more expensive than anoles.
Plus we wanted something small because it would be switched from each others house every week or so.
Maybe I will get a firebelly toad or something. My friend has some they are cute xD

Switching houses every week wouldn't be a good idea. It would stress out the animal. It takes about a week for them to adjust to a new home anyways.
