I recently got a captive bred granite spiny. Does anyone out there have any of these lizards? If so, what do you feed it and what set up do they live in?

Good picture and a verry good looking lizard. I am actualy surprized, this is the first time on google I found no care info for your lizard. I would imagine its close to that of my fence lizards. here is a link for them. Keep looking though and ask an expert.
Fence Lizard Care
Things you need to properly house a granite spiny
-one 5 lb bag rerptisand or similar non-silicon based sand
-20 gallon tall
-either a mercery 2 in 1bulb or a one incandesant bulb and one 7.0 desert dwelling flouresant tube
-small water dish
- rocks, bricks, or sand plasted grape wood.
Combine all ingredients into the 20 gallon placing the heat light over the rocks( may be a good Idea to use quick setting(homedepot) epoxy to secure the rocks to each other) this prevents accidental crushing of your new buddy.basking temp 100-110. make sure the cool side is in the 80's.
