Taming an anole is unrealistic compared to which common pet?

A dog or cat

The text explicitly contrasts the prospect of taming an anole with that of a dog or cat, suggesting that the level of learned companionship or submission seen in those common mammals is generally unattainable for anoles. Anoles are wired by strong wild instincts that dictate they perceive large moving objects, such as a human hand, as immediate threats. Therefore, the goal shifts from achieving true domestication or affection to merely establishing a state where the lizard tolerates human proximity because it has learned that the human presence does not signify danger or an imminent predatory attack.
