Answer
Hi Jessica, I would have two concerns with that practice. The first is that even though you don't use pesticides etc. you don't know about your neighbours and the anoles have likely not just been in your yard. The second, and more serious concern is that wild reptiles almost invariably carry intestinal parasites that they could pass on to your bearded. To me, it would just not be worth the risk.
