The cage you have him in now sounds sufficient as a quarantine cage. If you just acquired him, you should get a few fecal samples to a herp vet so that both a float and smear can be performed to check for any internal problems that may affect his health or behavior.

Acclimation cannot truly occur until the animal is deemed in good enough health, and has been introduced to a properly setup permanent enclosure. A knight Anole enclosure must consist of the following:

Varied diet of healthy insects (silkworms, butterworms, waxworms, crickets, lobster roaches, hornworms, waxworm moths) with occasional pinkie as treat. Multivitamin and calcium dusting once to twice a week.

General Anole care basics are somewhat universal. So feel free to checkout my care guide, button below. You have to rethink a lot of things because Knight Anoles are larger. So when I say "get insects this small" or "cage must be this big," know that for a Knight Anole to think bigger. But things such as finding a vet, products to consider or avoid, heating, lighting, supplements, diet, cage setup, can all be applied.
