Title: Whose Egg is it?
Post by: anemone on May 31, 2009, 17:20:45

We found an egg on the allotment buried under some compost left on top of some weed fabric. It looked intact, was white and was about the size of a tennis ball (though obviously egg shaped). 

Any idea what kind of egg it is and where it came from??

  Havn't a clue but would be wary if I found it  ---   could be long and slippery ?

Oh dear. What should I do with it? we've reburied it at the moment.

I did think about snakes but it'd have to be a pretty big one for the size of egg :o

Grass snake eggs are a lot smaller than that.

If we don't break them then we leave them on the top of the ground for the fox to bloomin well buryagain
