Poppy but which?
I know this is a poppy but is it edible.. This is in my recently built enclosure and I cant remember planting Welsh Poppy which is ok but I did have some seeds at one point.
Help to check whether it need pulling would be great.   if it is not Welsh Poppy, I am disapointed how quick it has appeared into my enclosure which is only 2 months old! Thanks!

Sorry I don't think is Welsh poppy as it is yellow not red... (although tortoise table also shows an orange one in the Welsh poppy pics...)
I looks to be inedible to me... |

It is an Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum) and is poisonous.
