A lot of people are moving toward soil/sand mix and making their own. It works well for tegus.
Mites can come from a variety of issues. I've only had to deal with mites twice. Both times it was from snakes that were given to me.
I've shipped tegus and had them shipped to me. If you have a good shipper, it is not a problem. It is a common thing to ship reptiles.
Baby tegus will not be hatching until May-August, depending on when the parents bred/laid eggs.
Welsome to the forum!
