Hemidactylus frenatus
The house gecko is very common in India. It rids the houses of common insect pests.
I had unlocked a back door and found these eggs inside the space where the bolt enters the wall. The sizes were not the same. (My thumb provides a rough scale.) Unfortunately, two other eggs fell and were smashed revealing the embryos inside.
I remember reading that an US President visiting New Delhi checked into ANOTHER 5 star hotel because the first one had common house lizards in the room.

Bernadette S, The baby house lizards are all over the place....behind wall calendars. inside the watering can...you name it...they are there. :)
I hope you spot the babies and can share photos of them! Yes, I bet the ants were quite happy.
Bernadette S, I put the unbroken ones back where I found them...the saddest part was seeing the eyes of the embryo...the ants had a feast though.
Sad about the broken eggs, but interesting to see! What did you do with the eggs?
