They grow 2-3 feet long and there are some web pages dedicated to their maintenance but don't recall their web addresses but a search might quickly turn up valuable information. A 10 gallon sized enclosure is fine for them as adults and they don't require high humidity. Eggs can easily be obtained via web pages that sell button quail eggs for like 25 cents each and a dozen eggs lasts months for them as they eat once or twice a month. I think these babies will be large enough to manage quail eggs or else I will be tube feeding them for a month or two with a metal feeding tube and syringe with chicken egg yolk. Their mother can manage to swallow a small chicken egg and she eats once a month.

i've been looking at getting an egg eater lately but what is a good begginer species? how big does it get? how big an enclosure does an adult need to live comfortably? also what is the minimum cage size for an adult? what are its temp/humidity requirements? and if i decide to breed it where can i get a constant supply of finch/quail eggs? and please tell me any info that i need to know that i didn't ask about?
