You don't have a collared. That is a female blue spiny swift. As for the tail, can you take a better pic of it? I can't see what you are talking about in these pics.

As far as care goes, spinys need a similar setup to collareds. They need a hot basking spot in the 100-110 range (measured with an accurate thermometer like a digital or a temp gun), a cool side of the tank in the mid 80s, fairly dry climate and LOTS of hides as they are very nervous, shy lizards, unlike collareds that become very friendly with familiarity. They also need UVB exposure, so you should either use a reptisun 10 florescent tube or if you have a large enough tank, you can use a Mercury Vapor Bulb.

Please post pics if the tail. It might just be the usual pattern, but it could also be tail rot that needs treatment ASAP.
