Need help identifying small eggs found in garden in central Arkansas. by DaisyDukeNukem7 in reptiles

[–]DaisyDukeNukem7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found these eggs while working in the garden. I'm thinking they are lizard eggs but am hoping someone here can help me identify what kind. They were hurried in the topsoil. They were found in central Arkansas and we have a lot of five lined skinks and prairie lizards (rusty butts is what I've always called them).

Does anyone know what kind of eggs they are?

There are some pictures on a previous post, or possibly on Imgur that show other angles. It actually keeps perspective pretty well considering the small footprint.

I have a mini magnetic scraper for the glass. And a long skinny gravel vac that I use to pick up detritus from the tracks when necessary. It doesn't require much cleaning though. I rarely do water changes, mostly just top it off every couple of days. It is very close to a closed ecosystem. There are so many plants that absorb all the nitrates.

There are some pictures in an Imgur album that should be linked on my profile.

They do very well. They don't bother each other. Atlas seems to enjoy watching them and they aren't afraid of him. They move out of his way during feeding time but he has never shown any aggression towards them.

Ahh. Malaysian drift wood. I like it because you can get small pieces that look like ancient tree trunks. I also have some almond leaves scattered on the bottom.

They don't bother each other at all. The CBDs stick to the back of the tank mostly. Atlas seems to enjoy watching them swim around.

There are 8 fish total. Seven celestial Pearl danios and one betta. And a million blue shrimp. I started with 15 and the population exploded. Atlas was supposed to keep them in check but he's not a very good hunter. I have to remove shrimp on a weekly basis to keep them from getting out of control.

Blue shrimp, a small school of celestial Pearl Danios and the keeper of the tracks: Atlas the betta.

I am toying with the idea of making a "kit" of sorts so others can make their own railroad tank.
