I was out working, when in a large ficus tree, I found 4 small eggs in a hole (in the tree). They are round and pretty hard. I thought about taking them and incubating them myself, but have no idea what they could be.

They are too small to be bird eggs, but too large to be normal 'garden lizard' eggs. I doubt it was a snake because it was about 6 feet up, and we dont have arboreal snakes here in south florida

interestingly enough, last week at the same park, i saw a large lizard like and iguana-- about a foot in length, bright green with blue and yellow around the eyes. I found it in a tree and scared it up further and it moved quite well in the tree. before I scared it, it moved like a chameleon all jerky and stuff... any insight?

Anyways, should I take the eggs or leave em where they are? I think it'll be a cool surprise to see what happens.

Thanks!

Leave them. They are better off where they are under an adult of that species watchful eye. You dont know what they are therefore you dont know how to care for them. Leave them and observe.

Yep, thats exactly what I was thinking.

Shes absolutely right, not knowing WHAT they are, you can not incubate properly, or know what their needs are.

I agree it may be a fun ( adventure) To continue to go back and watch, maybe take pics, come back and show us OR tell us

WHO HATCHED OUT ! LOL

But better left where the Mom put them!

Sounds like you have found some gecko eggs.
Easy to harch under not too moist standard conditions.
Unpredictable which species will hatch.
The lizard you saw may be a knight naole, Anolis equestris.
