Hi all you reptile experts. I live on a farm in the Illawarra on the East Coast of NSW. Today when I was walking the dog next to the creek I found some eggs which I suspect are snake eggs. My first thought was black snake as they are quite common around here...I then found out that they lay live snakelets rather than eggs.
I suspect they were buried as they are covered in dirt and unfortunately some of them are quite dented.
They are all quite long except for one undamaged one which is similar to the shape of a birds egg (top left)
I have included a photo of them (next to a AA battery) in the hope that someone on here might be able to identify them and even more hopefully whether they could be hatched somehow for release later. Their average length is 3cm (the undamaged is 2.8cm)
I am a reptile lover but certainly not knowledgeable on eggs. Who knows they could be beardie eggs? or turtle eggs as they are also very prevelant in the area.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Mandy
