What you have there is definitely a Sceloporus orcutii, Commonly known as Granite Spiny. At first glance it apears to be a female, but I would have to see the vent better to tell for sure. They love cages set up with granite or sandstone slabs. give it about 5 small crickets at a time, no more than ten. You can easily over welm it, and stress it out. Temps 85 daytime temp. At nite just shut off the heat and it would be fine. For water put a shallow bowl in the cage with a slab of stone half in the water half out. Mist once a week, on the rocks it will come out to lap this up. Subtrate is sand and potting soil mix. Three parts sand to one part soil, this is a great subtrate that most spiny's do well in. Hope this help's.
