Stunned, what is this??

10 years ago

I found it while repotting one of my plants. It looks identical to chicken egg, off white, faint freckles (probably just dirt), very small and springy to touch, not hard shell. I was wondering what could it be and should I destroy it in case it's some nasty bug (lol) such as black widow spider etc. Never saw anything like it. Please help me identify it.

Looks like lizard egg to me (Lizard, chameleon,e tc). I sometimes find these in summer at shallow depths once in a while.

Ahh thank you for helping me identify it. Yes I have lost of geckos in the garden, they don't do any harm so I guess I will leave the egg to hatch. :)
