Escaped from *heated propagator and captured making a break for it
across our living room floor!
I will release them tomorrow when it's warmed up a bit.

Update .
All the eggs have hatched. We had twenty one in total.
Surprisingly there were no failed to hatch ones.

I think that's terrific. *Your bit for wildlife. It will be interesting
to see if they remain in the garden and inhabit a compost heap or
something of that sort.

I don't suppose we'll see them again. *They are pretty good at lurking
out of sight. *We only see them if there's one swimming in the garden
pond.
They should have had chance to find a place to lurk in these last few
warm days. *I'll need to make sure there's a compost heap for them
next year.
It was a while before I realised what was happening to all our
tadpoles (suddenly disappearing.) *We have an acre of long grass &
plenty of voles, mice & shrews, I expect that's something they eat too.

Try to corral the slugs! *But if you can get a compost heap going or
even a couple of bales of straw loosened and piled up in a corner
before winter, it would help them along. *Lovely thing for you to find
and help.

Dunno if they eat slugs. How do you keep slugs in anywhere without
keeping the snakes out anyway?
There are lots of trees round our garden & leaves piled up under them,
they will lurk there I suppose.,
