Yeah, if you go to florida or places like that, the green anoles are just everywhere basking in the sun. The rule for reptiles like green anoles, beardies, etc..is 12 hours of day time, 12 hours of night time. The difference is, anole's are like 7 bucks..and they need pretty expensive set ups. There are a couple different types of UVB/UVA bulbs, coil bulbs(no heat just light) the long tube like kind(no heat just light) Or mercury vapor bulbs(heat and light) but are really pricy.
I use the long tube kind for my anole and Beardie. My anole is almost 8 years old, how old is your approx.?
Something like this bulb:

And this fixture:

Then you would need something like a 75-100 watt regular basking bulb in a separate fixture.
All the light and heat would go off after 12 hours of being on. They don't need heat at night unless your house gets really cold.
