My son and I rescued a very small desert spiny lizard from some sticky tape used to catch scorpions. We got him a cage, a light source, a water dish and crickets, but we have no idea how to care for him. He is a great little guy and in good shape. Can you tell us how to care for him. I'm wondering if we should let him go now that he seems better. He burrows under the dirt each night. He's really interesting to watch.
