Hi! A large puddle in my backyard dried up and I noticed several perfectly round holes (about 2 inches in diameter) around the area. When I looked carefully, I saw many small eggs. Do you think these are snakes? Please see attached photo.
Snakes typically do not dig their own nests, usually finding a remote spot in/under a rotting log, stone or in compost/piles of dead vegetation. Turtles DO dig their own nests, and the eggs can be deceptively small.
I recently rescued some eggs from someone's yard a few weeks ago. They turned out to be box turtles. FYI, a hatchling box turtle is about the size of a med-lg grape and less diameter than a 50-cent piece.
