Please help identify, rescued lizard.
Hello. My cat brought this inside just how, having bit off its tail and it was struggling for life. I picked him up with a towel, and he is still alive. I placed him on this towel and he started to relax and appears to be sleeping now. He is still breathing, and seems aware when I am nearby.
I do not know the extent of the damage here. But I feel so bad for the little guy. He can put his head up and seems to have the use of his legs. But he’s staying still, probably out of shock.
Is there anything I can do to help him? I live in the desert in AZ. I feel like as long as he is breathing he deserves a chance but putting him outside would mean getting eaten by a predator after what he’s been through with my cat.
If you can identify this lizard, please let me know so I can do some research on what he might need.
