Anna, snakes are sneaky egg stealers, and leave no trace. You have to catch them in the act. Or look around the chicken coop. We had one who would get in and eat eggs and then stretch out in some corner to sleep. He was hard to see. (Just gave myself a chuckle imagining a snake coming through a small grid fence, and then getting caught on the way out by an egg in their mouth or belly.)
