    Default ID ideas for an egg we just found


    LOG IN TO CLOSE THIS AD   


    My mom always finds geckos, anoles & eggs inside her power washer, which is stored on the patio. Today, a tiny egg rolled out and she gave it to me to incubate. My question them becomes: which species of lizard is it? It's about 1/4", maybe a tad bigger... it's oval and quite a bit larger than the round anole egg I found in January on the front landing... I would say it is about 1/3-1/2 the size of a crested egg... Any ideas what it could be in South Florida? I see lots of house geckos, anoles and some curly tail lizards around here... would it be from a curly tail? It strikes me as something too big to come from an anole or gecko (tho I did spot a huge brown anole male earlier today elsewhere in the city... coming up on 5")...

    Any ideas? (I candled it and it is fertile. I placed it in the incubation container in what I hope to be the correct position, though it looks pretty fresh, so it may work even if it's not the right position). I will try to get a pic of it later, but I am being lazy at the moment. Thanks all!

    I dunno, but that's really exciting! I'm so jealous. I can't wait to find out what hatches.

    No way to know really. I'd incubate in perlite or sterlite at a temp similar to whatever the normal daytime temp is in your area. Let us know what pops out

    The original egg found at the beginning of January is on the right. The egg that rolled out of the power washer is on the left. I was able to candle the bigger egg and see veins, but the smaller egg is pretty opaque, so I'm hoping it's 1)actually and egg, 2)going to hatch soon.
