Found this little gal(?) In my bedroom all emaciated and sluggish, got her a heat pad, uv lamp and fattening it up with small crickets with calcium. Think it's a New Mexican Whiptail but not sure. Looks kinda wrinkly. Is it ok?

She fat and happy now. Tons of energy. I'm probably anthropromorthizing, but this species has so much more personality compared to what's usually around here in Los Angeles (fence lizards, side blotched lizards, alligator lizards)
I'm happy to hear that! It is not so easy to rescue weakened wild animals, so you must have done a very good job in getting the conditions right ๐
