Snake eggs are leathery..not hard like a bird egg. Turtle eggs, however, are hard. Perhaps what you have are not snake eggs.

Not knowing where you (& the eggs) are from, I have no idea what particular species of critter it might be.

thanks

I seem to remember reading that Speckiled kingsnakes like to lay in piles of sawdust.
However, if the pile was not damp, there's a good chance that if those ARE snake eggs, they are dried out and dead.
