cactuscarl Posted January 8, 2015 I found these in the cactus patch. I cannot work out what they are... they're all rubbery and remind me of reptile eggs. We get big carpet snakes and things but they seem to big for that. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dreamwalker. Posted January 8, 2015 actually on 2nd thought I'd agree...reptile...snakes maybe... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paradox Posted January 8, 2015 yep, some kind of reptile eggs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolname Posted January 8, 2015 they look like drop bear eggs. be careful 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paradox Posted January 8, 2015 it's hard to get a scale of their size but carpet python eggs aren't particularly small, they're pretty much one of the biggest reptiles in the southern end of aus.. so probably the best bet i'd say.. failing that, definitely drop bears 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paradox Posted January 8, 2015 yep, they're monotremes, evolutionary anomolies, related to platypus & echidna's 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cactuscarl Posted January 9, 2015 Yeah first though was carpet snake but they are a bit longer than a bic lighter (funny how that has become a scale of measurement lol) but twice as thick. Which seems huge for a snake. drop bears of course. No wonder I found them just sitting on top of the soil as everyone knows drop bears lay eggs and they are rubbery so they bounce when they hit the ground. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
