Need care help for crevice spiny lizard

My friend has a crevice spiny lizard, got him/her about a year and a half ago. Don't know if its a girl or boy because theres little to no information on these species on the internet. She has paper towel substrate, a half log hide and a waterbowl. 60-70 wattage blacklight. She's not really sure. So anyways, does anyone know how to care for this species at all? What kind of extra things can she put in the tank? Not sure on maximum size either, the guy at the shop says 6" max, but other sites say up to eleven. Any help is very appreciated.

Thanks,
Val

Ive found some stuff while googling, that may help.

Lighting: Full spectrum fluorescent UV bulbs and a basking light are required.

Temperature range: Day 85°-95°F Night 68°-75°F Basking 95°-104°F

Food: Crickets and mealworms coated in calcium and vitamin powder.

Water: A bowl of clean water should always be available. Mist daily to provide water droplets.

Housing/Habitat: An aquarium equipped with an under tank heating pad at one end. Use calci-sand or desert blend substrate. Landscape with rocks and branches to provide a basking area and plenty of hiding places. Misting the terrarium substrate under some of the hiding places will help provide the humidity required.
found that here....http://www.jackspets.com/reptilehint...Y%20LIZARD.htm

and http://www.centralpets.com/animals/r...s/lzd5934.html

Thats what I could find for you. hope it helps, best I could do for you. others might know to.

Ahh, thanks so much. Also, we used to have some big rocks in there for basking, and we put them in the oven to burn off any bacteria. For branches, how can we be sure to get out all the bacteria? I mean.. wouldn't the branches just light on fire if you put them in the oven?? Lol.

Thanks againnn

Depends on the size you can freze them, or you can put them in the oven. You want to bake them on low 200, or 250 for 45 minutes to an hour. Baking at lower temps is longer (thanks Shoobly for letting me know that )

He means baking at lower temps for longer is safer, lol. And you're welcome.
