What laid these eggs?


Central WV. Dented as if they were laid soft and sort of hardened up. We have box turtles but these seem way too big right?

    I was going to say box, snapper, or painted slider turtle. We used to find them all the time as kids.

    Could be Rat Snake eggs. They look too elongated for turtle eggs.

    FYI if you want them to live you shouldn’t move reptile eggs. Unlike bird eggs they should stay in the same position as they were laid.

    I had a box turtle that used to lay eggs that looked like that.

    You can not move turtle eggs. They will not hatch now. Stop picking them up 😩

    Do you have water nearby? They could be snapping turtle eggs. I’ve seen similar nests in my backyard (near a pond) that are dug up by fox and raccoons—they devour them. I believe it takes ~80-90 days for them to hatch.
