Hey all,

While tracking hognose yesterday we found one of the tagged females and she had a large lump..... We held on to her for a while and when I decided to take another look at her she regurgitated this:



It is a good sized full egg. We decided to cut it open and found this:



A turtle...... Most likely a Blanding's turtle egg but I have yet to examine the specimen closely.


Cheers,
Chris
