I live in Maryland. I was re-doing a garden bed this past weekend and unearthed a clutch of snake eggs. They range in size. I know that snake eggs grow over time -- as the baby snake gets bigger so does the egg. Anyone have any idea about what kind of snake they would be? They look like the pictures on google image search of both grass snakes and black rat snakes. But then a lot of the snake eggs I saw on the search looked alike. I just wasn't sure in this area what the most likely snake would be. I live in a highly developed area, tons of houses on top of each other with very small yards and many commercial properties nearby, not exactly a snake's paradise. Any ideas on the kind of snake that would make its home in this type of environment? Also, is there a specific time frame for when snakes lay their eggs and when they hatch or does it just happen all spring and summer long? I'm anxious to find out when these things will be hatching.
It's definitely snake eggs. One got accidentally destroyed while hoeing up the garden. They range in size, some are small (size of a penny) and others are medium sized (size of a regular mushroom). None are huge. They're all in the same clutch though, not spread out.
