Nest of eggs in garden in SoCal
I’ve seen lizards running around in the garden but these seem pretty big imo like 1-2cm
I’ve also seen a 4ft long California king snake
HootinNHollerin, Roommate just sent me these! Woa there’sa lot more going out there than I realized

MamboGator, 
They are adorable! Skinks? With that blue tail they must be.
I wish we had more reptiles here. I’ve only seen the occasional garter snake by the river, and we apparently have rattlesnakes but thankfully I haven’t encountered one.

Yeah the first two look like western skinks. The last one looks like a southern alligator lizard
Edit: Assuming the weed on the right is burclover, the eggs do look like they’d be about the right size. (5-7mm?)

HootinNHollerin, Seems right on to me!
Jerb322, 
Box turtle?
Tylerdurdon, Those are definitely feline eggs. I’ve got 3 degrees in zoology and definitely know cat eggs when I see them.
actionjbone, Lies. Cats aren’t kept in zoos.
Ledivin, but these seem pretty big
No real way to get a sense of scale from the picture - how big are they?
HootinNHollerin, Yea sorry, they looked like 1-2cm. I went back and the cave nest is covered up now. I think to protect the eggs.
