Cork bark is easy to find, its available online and at most nurseries. If you can make it to a show you can see the peices before you buy them.

I can't say if all gesneriads are safe but most will make a nice addition to the viv. Its a pretty large family of plants so there are alot of options. Anything too fragile will probably be ruined by the anole so look for large dense foliage, this will provide good cover as well.

You can find most of the stuff through a google search. Any site that sells vivarium plants will have most of the other stuff (driftwood, cork, aliflor, substrate). Black Jungle has a nice selection and alot of accesories. You can check at Deven at Terra 5 Designs, alot of his stuff isn't listed but he can get ahold of anything from plants to animals and is very helpful. Cloud Jungle Epiphytes also has a good selection.

ok i'm starting to get a basic idea of waht I want for the anole cage, i'll draw a picture later and post that becuase I dont think im great at explainign this kind of stuff
anyway I think i'd like to line the side and back walls with corkbark. maybe put a small waterfall in the back left corner (dont know if I need that or not)
and airplant on the back wall above the water fall.
a flat growing plant on the ground infront of the water fall ( i think I saw a gesneriad like that, those sure do vary alot!)
some kind of branchi should go across the tank for climbing
a vineing plant off the back wall to cover a part of the stick to give her alot of cover (like a curtain)
maybe a creeping fig to grow up walls and I need something on the right side where the basking spot is, something sturdy that will be ok living under the heat
i thought about a bromiliad becuse they look sturdy but I dont know how one would be under the heat lamp

completly open to changing things, im just planing around with what kinds of plants I like and where to put them

Jade,
I wouldn't bother with the waterfall, the anoles don't need that much humidity and putting a waterfall in a tank is no easy task...trust me. We'll those premade waterfalls are easy to put in, but who wants one of those...not me.

I'll wait to see your sketch before I start recommening plants. But the creeping fig will cover your back wall within a few weeks.

I'm not sure on the basking spot, it shouldn't be too hard, I would have it reflect off the peice of wood your talking about and mount the wood up high. That way you don't have to worry about blocking the heat. There's plants that would thrive on the basking spot under the light like tillandsias. A pothos or philodendron will make a good ground plant as they grow with little light and are rather hardy.

tryed to make a picture dont know if it'll help any but it can be found here

Jade, sorry for the delay, I wrote a huge response just to accidently knock the power cable to my computer out of the wall. Have you started looking for the supplies? Trust me when I say having everything before you start is a million times easier then buying the parts as you need them. From what I know of anoles through observation they would do very well in a viv with lots and lots of wood. Check out some lakes in your area for driftwood or sign up on EBAY and you'll find something sooner or later, theres alot of peices for auction at the moment.

there are 4 lakes in my dvelopment so maybe i'll get a chance to go out and look today
i havnt been out to the store to look for those clay pellets for the drainage. i can get good topsoil at a garden store nearby ( i love the topsoil from there its nice and smooth with no chunks of wood and it smell clean , the stuff from homedepot and lowes smells like fertilizer ) should I just put in plain topsoil or mix it with somthing?
Oh and should I put someting like a peice of screening over the layer of pellets so teh dirt wont fall down and inbetween the pellets?

If you can't find the clay pellets non-biodegradable packing peanuts will make an adequate substitute.

Straight topsoil is going to be too heavy for any plants to grow in it. You'll need to cut it with something. For the anoles I would do:
2 part coco fiber
1 part top-soil
1 part orchid bark
1 part milled sphangum

You do need to divide the two. I use weed block fabric or fiberglass window screen, whichever I have on hand. Another thing you need to consider is root growth. Roots are going to grow right through any fabric or screen, this usually isn't a problem unless you would like to avoid it. I usually let them grow into the drainage layer unless I have a false bottom, which I like to keep as unobstructed as possible.

well I took the golf cart around to the lakes and didnt find any good drift wood its mostly big hunks of logs. can I use just a branch from outside?.
I'll pick up the stuff for substrate when im out if the garden place is open,
i think it'll be fine for the roots to grow down into the drainage. if I ever have to remove a plant will it hurt it to be pulled out of the screen?

Branches from outside will work but they have to be hardwood.

The roots are fine to grow into the drainage in my opinion but removing a plant that has grown into the drainage will be almost impossible, you'll have to cut the roots without pulling the divider too much disrupting its barrier.
