Notes
My wife spotted this guy out in the open in the middle of the condo complex when she left for work in the morning. It moved very little and she caught it easily, noting the tail injury. She showed it to me when I came home, and I noticed that the tail appeared to be rotting in the back, which led me to guess an incomplete break. I found the upper break point and broke off the part of the tail that wasn't fully connected. I've been caring for it for 4 days, and so far it appears stronger and more alert than the first day, and the tail looks like it is starting to heal.
