Um.... need some help lol

Well.... my dad caught a "alligator lizard" (well i think it is, im 95% sure it is) at his work in placerville around the mountains. he was driving a machine to move some boulders away because he was building a road from his company. My dad soon saw that a rock had smashed the tail of a lizard. he took the lizard home and gave it to me. so... here are some pics of it, and i wanted to know, and just to be sure, wat sex is it?( im pretty sure its a female and is still a juvinile) How do i take care of it?

im using a 10 gallon tank with plastic plants, Reptile bark and a heat lamp with a UVB. it has a water bowl with shallow water which i change everyday. i also sprinkle wat around the tank 2 times a day. am i doing everything alright, anyone got advice for this new pet owner?

I’d say you are doing it right that’s how I take care of mine. He will also eat mealworms wich are more fatty, but don’t chirp like crickets at night lol.

good luck!
