Compatibility Questions

Long-tailed grass lizards have similar requirements and generally get along great with anoles. At the pet store I work at we keep them together and many of our customers keep them together as well without issues. I also have heard about green tree frogs living with anoles as long as there is enough room for the frogs to avoid the heat of the basking light.
Also, a book I have called Popular Amphibians by Philippe de Vosjoli has a section about mixing species in vivaria. It warns about the risks associated and gives good guidelines to follow, such as quarantining, making sure the requirements are similar, and making sure there is plenty of space for each . It would be worth looking into if you can pick up a copy. They do list fire-bellied toads, green anoles, jamaican anoles, spiny reed frogs and gold dust day geckos as all living together for several years as of the writing of the book without issues.

a better question would be to ask: "what sort of enclosure would allow for (specific species of anole here) and red eared sliders to cohabitate?"
Compatibility is hardly an option in most reptile keeping. What sized tank do you have? Surely you must have a design in mind to already have a 3D background.
The only way to do it is with a large tank(LP), and with snakeguy's interesting interpretation.
