reptile eggs
Snake clutch contents
Reptile eggs are the eggs laid by reptiles—snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodiles, and their relatives.
Unlike bird eggs, most reptile eggs have leathery rather than hard shells.
The phrase often appears in contexts of wildlife biology, exotic pet care, or cooking in cultures where they're eaten: We found reptile eggs buried in the sand.
