    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

OK. All you other "Reptile Freaks" out there...

Yesterday, I was looking around my yard for a place to plant my new magnolia tree and I found a spot where there was a hollow hole (from what...I don't know) ... We had stuffed some leaves and debris in the hole to fill it up this past spring ---

Anyway...
Here is my question:

When I went to pull the leaves and crap out of the hole THERE WERE EGGS (8 of them) white, oblong, slightly pointed at one end, good condition, about an inch in size. Just laying under the leaves.

What do you guys think ............. BOX TURTLE or SNAKE eggs?

I have loads of box turtles on my property (in fact a month ago I found two box turtle hatchlings walking in my flower bed) ...
But, I also have snakes copperheads (which I think are live birth) and black snakes.

Just curious what you all think.
 
im my experiance box turtles only lay about 2-4 eggs per clutch. is that the only options? water turtles some times travel pretty far to lay there eggs.
 
I think your eggs are form a turtle defintely... if theyre like an inch and a hald by an inch i think its box turtle eggs... if you hatch them and want to send them to a home i would care for them...i got alot of boxies already and i could care for them easily

Thanks for the replies...

Thanks everyone who responded-

I am actually thinking they are probably black rat snake eggs because, like someone else said ... there are just too many eggs.

I have some CB boxies and they breed yearly BUT - my boxies have never laid EIGHT eggs.

But, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a miracle - that they are turtle eggs.
