Keith - I currently have a 1cm stone in place trapped by a plastic stent awaiting removal (the stent saved my kidney/life a month ago). I know what you're going through!! Good luck with them.

Oh no! Was wondering why you had both been quiet on here at the start of the season. Wishing you both Keith and Will speedy recoveries.

Thanks Gemma, yes, a bit surprising when they said the stone was 'life threatening' but hopefully the temporary solution will last til the overstretched NHS can laser it out. Hoping to put some frog stuff up here soon - numbers building up nicely in the pond after a lean year in 2017.

Will sounds pretty scary, hopefully they will sort you out soon. Looking forward to your frog updates.

Just going back over this thread looking for a picture from last year I never updated on my pondering regarding the compost and grass snake egg laying.
Temperature measurements surprised me, but found that a perfectly normal worm compost heap kept optimum stable temperatures throughout the egg incubation period. So probably no need to worry too much about complex heat producing compost for grassies. In fact it is likely the core temperatures would be way off the scale and simple but fairly large traditional compost heap is pretty much all they need.
