Hahaha, that pic of Rex in that bag
Quick question, do you buy your quail eggs locally or online? If online where? I'd like to add some of those as treats to my tegus diet.

I can get them as privately owned super markets, asian markets and local breeders. I don't know where online sells them.

Yeah I only ask about online because I've looked locally here any no such luck :( but I think I read where one person said they find them online, I'll have a look see, even though it sounds weird to ship eggs haha.

If you are on facebook, join The Tegu-Phile group. There is a guy in there that will ship quail eggs.

Is straw a good substrate for tegus? I've seen that in a few pics and that would be really cheap for me and seems like it would be easy to clean

I'm assuming straw is being used as a replacement for leaf litter on her bio active soil, straw by itself is probably not suitable as it will develop fungus from being damp constantly

I use top soil but add oak leaf litter on top to help hold moisture in the soil as well as provide enrichment. The straw I pile up in their sleeping area, over time they spread it out and I just rake it up and put it back into a mound for them to tunnel and sleep in. I and they absolutely love it. I have been using it for over a year now, and have no issues with mold or mildew.
