My little brothers friend had captured a Texas Spiny Lizard about a year ago, and brougth it over here cuz he was tired of it. Poor thing is in bad shape! Its about 3" snv (tail is broken off). The first night he could barely keep his eyes open... I finally got some water in him, and put him in a cage iwth a heat pad. He had been in a 10 gal aquarium with out side unsterile sand, and a box turtle. No heat or UVB. Today he looked a little better, i put him in a different cage, underneath part of my chinese water dragons UVB light, and still a heat pad. Soaked him in some warm water and poweraide to get him some electrolytes, and he finally ate 3 tiny superworms and a redworm. Any suggestions you have to help him out would be greatly appreciated. ALong with any known care specifications, i've had no luck finding a care sheet.
Thanks.

If the spiny lizard baby has enough energy at this point in time, you should spray the glass/plastic of the caging with water; they usually will lick droplets off of objects. You should keep feeding appropriately sized insects; provide the correct lighting and heating. If the baby lizard as generally restored health, you should consider letting go back into the wild.
Goodluck.
