How to Identify Reptile Eggs
Many people had no idea that snakes do not give birth to live young. Most snakes lay their eggs in soil or sand and abandon them. They can lay from one to a hundred eggs at a time, depending on the species. Reptile eggs vary in shape and size, ranging from very small to large.
How to Identify Reptile Eggs
Gently pick the egg up to examine it.
It is a reptile egg if the shell feels leathery and has some give to it. They are usually oblong in shape and some may have a bumpy texture.
With the other lights in the room off, hold the egg under a bright light.
Examine the egg to see if you can see the embryo inside.
Contact a wildlife sanctuary or your local game warden and give them a description of the egg and they may be able to tell you the species.
