Quail are an excellent food source for carnivorous and opportunistic reptiles such as some snakes, monitor lizards, and large lizards. They can be offered as chicks (day-old quail) or adults, whole or in pieces depending on the size of the reptile. Rich in protein and essential nutrients, they offer a varied alternative to rodents. It is recommended to choose quail raised without antibiotics or hormones to ensure a healthy and balanced diet.
