Hi, the quail eggs will obviously be small enough to feed whole so yes, shell too. Though they will lose a little in cooking, I would recommend scrambling the goose eggs, at least then the monitor will easily eat it all rather than having it soaked into the substrate if he manages to tip the dish up (which they often do deliberately to spite their owners)....

im not sure i read this right... most dont poop in water all the time it could be a sign of underlying causes. like dehydration or something else... not always though but sometimes, yes. But are you saying her poop is stringy? if this is true its possible she has worms.

Re: Savannah Monitor skin issue
Something sounds off about this poop.
My lizards drop cylindrical turds with a little puddle of goop and some urates.

Re: Savannah Monitor skin issue
The "stringy poop" could aslo mean the food is not being fully digested.

Re: Savannah Monitor skin issue
Stringy poop from too many worms in his diet hahaha
Just take a picture, maybe your idea of stringy is different than everyone elses. Pictures speak 1000 words, even pictures of feces.

Re: Savannah Monitor skin issue
LOL, her poop isnt stringy anymore! It was stringy before. I think its because she was so sick. And some lizards just like to poop in water. My JCP always pooped in the water. And my friend has a savannah and 2 black and white tegus and they will only poop in the water.

Re: Savannah Monitor skin issue
Another question!!!
So, today she seemed like she was starving. And she only ate 3 night crawlers last night. Soooo, I gave her 2, and she was still waiting for more. She bites them and shakes them and then swallows them. but I gave her the 3rd one and after she swallowed it she was rubbing her face on the ground and all of the sudden the slimy sucker came back out her mouth! Haha so im thinking this is why she only ate 3 yesterday. So should I get her worms instead so they are smaller? Or cut the crawlers in half? They are kind of huge. Suggestions??

yea, ive never had this issue before. my guess wouldn't be that it "crawled" back out so much as she may have regurgitated it. you can try cutting them in half but i never have. and i feed whole big ones to my water dragon who is a tiny little thing compared to my monitor. wait for someone else to give an input though.

it may have gotten stuck then instead, mine does this too... but usually i see the worm hanging out the side of his mouth so i grab it with the tweezers and move it so he can swallow it better.

Re: Savannah Monitor skin issue
Worms are slippery, sometimes they almost slip out.
