What are these EGGS from in my CHID? - Page 2 - Orchid Board

I go with the lizards/geckos especially if there is nobody sitting on them to keep them warm. The hummingbirds build little nests the size of timbels and they are always around the nest. Keep us posted.

Lizard eggs most likely and probably from a brown or green anole which are the most common lizards you see all over central Florida. If I stack clay pots together on my patio for any length of time, I get a bunch of these eggs. They don't seem to care for plastic pots. It's amazing how big some of the eggs seem compared to the size of the typical lizard.

Great reptiles to have around as they eat lots of bugs. Not so great when I have to bring plants in the house for tropical storms or freezes, then contend with lizards running around the house - not to mention the occasional tree frog.

actually they look more like lizard's eggs... do they feel like gummi balls?

Kav, I haven't touched them! I don't like to put my scent on anything that momma might smell and abandon

I am pretty sure those are gecko eggs. I see lots of those around, too.

You've got one little lazy birdy who found an already-made nest. That is so curious and hysterical!

First a thread on frogs invading central Florida and now, this!!!

Frogs don't lay eggs, do they?

Frogs do lay eggs. They are small, clear, and encased in a thick, slimy gel. Think tapioca pudding, except clear.
