My co worker and I think they are snake eggs, we left them alone but today I had to go see if they hatched and all but one was hatched! Not sure what snake but the co worker has seen a black snake in that area, a woody area.
Hard to say without getting hands on. If they were squishy it's quite possible you found some snake eggs.
I found some eggs buried under Pine needles 2 weeks ago, today only one is left it was about 2 1/2 inchs long and 2 inchs wide, bigger than a lizard, sort of soft! Any idea what it may be?
Just like our Coral snake. I fished a baby out of our pool one year and didn't know until afterwards that it was a Coral snake. I like to see them in a natural habitat. I guess you know they have to bite you between the toes or fingers to actually break the skin and hurt you.
