Garden Egg Mystery: Bird or Snake? Identify to Stay Safe!
- •Unexpected eggs in the garden can be dangerous if they belong to snakes, especially venomous ones.
- •Bird eggs are hard, don't dent easily, and may crack, while snake eggs are soft, leathery, rubbery, and dent without breaking.
- •Snake eggs are typically white, off-white, or cream-colored, lacking spots or patterns, unlike often colorful bird eggs.
- •Bird eggs are oval or asymmetrical; snake eggs are oblong, elliptical, or cylindrical, usually 1-2 inches long.
- •Snakes lay 5-20+ eggs in clusters in hidden, damp places like under wood or in soil, while birds lay 2-5 eggs in nests.
Why It Matters: Distinguish snake eggs from bird eggs by texture, color, shape, size, and location to avoid potential danger.
