My dad found a snake egg while digging up an area of the backyard so I'm incubating it now

It's weird, that area of the yard is where snakes like to lay their eggs apparently because me and my brother found about a dozen snake eggs in that area once when we were doing an easter egg hunt. Not sure what species they were but they were bigger and more oblong than this egg if I remember correctly.
Not sure what species this one is either but I'm thinking maybe a southern black racer since we've got so many of those in our yard. I wonder why there's only one egg though :? I guessing probably the snake wasn't finished laying.
It'll be interesting to see what hatches out anyway! We'll have to dig in that area more carefully now in case we run across more eggs!
I'm also currently incubating anole (lizard) eggs. I've hatched 3 so far this summer and currently have 5 more eggs. After my first hatched I went looking for more and within 10 minutes I found two in the veggie garden patch and then a few minutes later I was watering the mulberry tree and saw an egg sticking out of the soil! Then later on I found 4 eggs in a little plant pot and a couple of eggshells from ones that had already hatched. Really surprised to find that many in one little pot!
Here's my last hatchlings, they actually hatched on the same day so I was attempting to get them to sit side by side on my arm for pictures but one jumped off and I was pressed for time so he just got his pics taken on the ground :lol: The other one chilled on my arm before I had to regretfully put him on a tree and say goodbye :lol: (I was running late for work).
Before they hatched (still waiting on the smallest egg to hatch)

And then the 4 eggs that I found in the plant pot, with 1 of the dried up eggshell from one that had already hatched

I'm pretty obsessed with eggs and hatching things as you can see :lol:
