Lizard eggs. If they are slightly soft that´s what i reckon they are,we found 3 under a slab buried in sand,had to move them as the slab was being cemented down, have read that if they are moved the embryo dies. Moved ours under another stone, but so far nothing has emerged.  |

I'm with Troll !!! Brilliant !!!!! We, as a family, used to look after a couple of fields (in my young youth) for hay for our osses, when we took over the fields (rented) they were full of bracken and not been touched for years. We had to clear the lot. I'll never forget the amount of grass-snake eggs that were there. At first we as kids thought they were Adders coz inside the eggs there were eeeeny weeny snakes, but of course they werent coz adders give birth and don't lay eggs. G snakes will lay in compost heaps coz of the warmth there and they'll hatch in late summer which is SOOOOOOON !! Is there anyway you can replace them back to where they came from? Here's a huge array of images of grass-snake eggs - do yours look like these? www.google.co.uk/search?q=grass+snake+eggs&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ezlKUI3BLYed0QWC14GgAg&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=605OOOOoooooo please help them. |

grass snakes often live and lay eggs in compost heaps. They like the warmth. I moved one from a friends rockery about 3 weeks ago. It was a fabulous specimen, over a metre long and beautifully coloured. Unfortunately my friend, like so many, just wanted it somewhere else. |
