How big is the female Beverley? I would expect she will lay more than 1 egg. What your doing is fine and won't hurt the egg at all.

I will check her length tomorrow Danny I must keep an eye on her now to see if she lays anymore, maybe I will be prepared next time, I know it's probably not fertile as she lay it outside but I will give it a chance.
This is a first for me so I'm a bit excited, she will be even more spoiled tomorrow
