 |
|
Has anyone come across this at all before?
I found this in my female cumingis water bowl this morning- most peculiar indeed.
She last laid eggs on August 10th, all were infertile, since that time she has not been mated at all.
As you can see the egg that I found is very small - it is photographed on a regular size piece of kitchen towel - the forceps are 4".
I find it very very bizarre that she has passed this - she is incredibly healthy etc etc ...
If anyone can shed light i'd be grateful.
thanks

| That looks like an egg that's been consumed and defecated out. |

| I'm with Sean on this one. That's how monitor eggs look when they've passed through the gut of a monitor. |
