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

Box turtle?

Those are definitely feline eggs. I've got 3 degrees in zoology and definitely know cat eggs when I see them.

Lies. Cats aren't kept in zoos.

but these seem pretty big

No real way to get a sense of scale from the picture - how big are they?

Yea sorry, they looked like 1-2cm. I went back and the cave nest is covered up now. I think to protect the eggs.
