well the cage size is definitely big enough but im not to sure if the setup in the cage is to good for the simple fact that there is a risk of parasites because the rocks and grass were just from your yard plus there could be a risk of insecticides and other chemicals that could get to the lizard but if it is just a temporary thing then its probably fine but i would suggest using either potting soil or sand found at any local pet store and other then that your all set.
