Question
MY gecko just recently ate a green anole that we had together for awhile is this common or a cause for concern.

Answer
Dear Gary,
thank you for your question.
Most carnivorous herps will prey on anything that's smaller than themselves, that's why it's usually not a good idea to house different species together (among other reasons). The gecko will hunt any smaller lizards you put in his tank again, that's normal behaviour.
I hope I was of some help to you
Jennifer
