There was a hole to it that looked like a snake hole. The round egg was underground. It is about 2 inches. I'm not afraid of it, just curious about it. My son's science teacher has had some personal issues and won't be back at school until next year. I live way out in the country and snakes are just a normal part of life. I would love to know what it is. It is more of a brown color. I thought that was because of it being under the dirt. It isn't white at all. It does not seem to be deflating. There was only one. I looked around the same spot and didn't find anymore. Any clues what it might be?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-64452996678175961372009-09-06T20:37:10.733-04:002009-09-06T20:37:10.733-04:00I found some white things that looked like eggs in...I found some white things that looked like eggs in my backyard.

You keep saying, "OMG! I found the EXACT same thing in MY garden! GASP!" when they most likely are not the same thing. These do not appear to be eggs, but if they are, do not appear to be snake eggs. Snakes lay eggs that are oblong in shape, almost never rounded. Also, I've seen a lot of people say that they have seen or know that these are "Garden" snake eggs. That is not possible. Garter snakes are the real name, and they do not lay eggs, their young is born live. More than that, these "eggs" are too small to be black racers or rat snakes. They more resemble turtle eggs if anything. Remember, if you find eggs beneath the dirt, they do not belong to a snake, especially in a garden. Another thing to take into consideration is that if they are eggs and not a fungus, do not move them on your own. If you do not wish for them to die, it would be best just to leave them alone or call a professional. Reptile eggs of any sort cannot be rotated or their position altered like bird eggs can. This will kill any reptile. I do not suggest these "eggs" to be killed. It isn't your right to kill the young of another creature, just the same as someone else killing your child. Take that into consideration. Snakes are mostly harmless creatures, and when treated with respect, will do the same for you. They want nothing to do with humans, but unfortunately they have to deal with us a hell of a lot more than we have to deal with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-58841031339530596902008-07-02T13:07:00.000-04:002008-07-02T13:07:00.000-04:00We found a similar egg.

Yesterday I cut back a climbing rose on my fence and cleared out the ground around the base of the plant. Today as I was watering it I found small, about a quarter of an inch, perfectly white, oval eggs in a circle in the grass against the fence. Some of the eggs were away from the circle. There were about 12 I guess. I didn't count them. I was squimish beccause I had jsut found a dead baby snake in my yard and just knew these were snake eggs. Anyone know WHAT they were? My brother picked one up to feel it and it broke in his hand just like a chicken egg. I think it was white inside. I went in the house. It scared me.<BR/><BR/>ShannonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-32996612698751403062008-06-23T15:12:00.000-04:002008-06-23T15:12:00.000-04:00Snake eggs are oval in shape.

My mom was playing golf and her ball went into the bunker (you know that sandy part in a golf coarse) and she went to the bunker and thought this egg was the ball but she didn't hit it so the egg wasn't damaged and her golfball was right near it so my mom took the egg home and gave it to me.

The difference is that they have slightly deeper and bigger craters, but no holes in them. They are oval in shape and appear to be deflating. We are wondering if they are snake eggs (?) and if so, how do we know if they are poisonous or not? BTW, the kids have brought them into the classroom and are currently "incubating" them with a warming light and dirt which is covering the eggs. They would like to know how warm the eggs need to stay and how deeply they should be buried in the sand. If you or any of the other bloggers have any "wise words of wisdom" for us, please write back.
