Sorry - I don't honestly know much about turtles - but if pressed I'd half to reinterate my early suggestion - just don't mix species

Red ears will do okay with the matamata but need a sturdy sunning spot and should start smaller. Many snakes and lizards will eat green anoles, I feed them to my tokays, Cuban anoles get pretty big and will eat small snakes. Alligator lizards are notorious for eating other lizards and have jaws strong enough to do damage to lizards their own size.

I don't know about the skinks but I do know a little about feeding snakes. Most snakes will readily eat anoles (snakes small enough that is). They have a habit of being picky eaters once introduced to a natural food source (chikens, anoles, frogs, ext.) though. Sometimes they will refuse the regular food items. It would not be as cheap or as easy to obtain anoles as it is to get rodents. So unless you have a steady supply of anoles (breeding them?) I would not suggest anoles. They can be helpful in getting wild caught or baby tropical snakes to start eating, but would try to switch to rodents as soon as possible.
 
Wild caught anoles and fence swifts are bad news as feeders because they almost always carry ticks or mites that can overrun a herp tank. If you have problems with rodent and your snake or predator lizard is big enough try fresh hatched chickens, a lot of granges, feed stores, or hatcheries sell them cheaper than pet store weaner rats.
 
oh, i wasnt catching them, a petstor down the street gets them ineveryonce in awhile and he sells them for like $4 a piece, and their like 6 inches long. and their green, idk if there differ types but these ones are green and i think have a brownish bottom. i think.
