That's been guessed. They're not from my mandarin rat, although I wouldn't complain!

I will guess knoblochi but I think they seem too big - still that is what I would be hoping for if I were you!!

Sorry, Mary. Not knoblochi either. Pic shows them a bit larger than they really are, I guess.

Nope Vanan. No pit either. These eggs are the size of corn snake eggs or smaller. Some pits have huge eggs. Ever see Louisiana pine eggs? (P.m.ruthveni) They're enormous.
Keep trying.

O.K. a little hint may help.
They're from a small snake native to the southern US.
No corn or rat No king or milk.

American cockroach? Oh wait, that's not a snake.

Damn! Thought they were pits cos of the late season clutch thingy. On hindsight, yea they look corn sized. I'm going with racer.

By the time you get to your field guide Vanan, they'll have hatched.
Still no correct answer.

Simus? -- Bingo! we have a winner!!!
I thought Vanan would see the connection to his recent post.
Anyway, I hope they do well and hatch for me.
Thanks for playing along.
