Is this a corn snake?

I live in a wooded area and have seen some big snakes. Was moving some Mulch this evening that has been sitting for a while. When lift up saw bunch of white stuff, I thought it was Mushrooms as I've seen a bunch of unusual types this year. Took stick and poked one and it was a Snake Egg! We took pictures of remaining eggs and covered up. After looking online I think it might be a corn snake but not sure. Can anyone help?
Thanks P
 
Pics won't help because the eggs of many reptile species look the same. Incubate them and hatch them out? Out of curiosity, where do you live?
 
It is highly doubtful it is a corn if you live in Indiana. They are not native to your area.
 
Yes, it is a hatching the other ones have not hatched. Last summer we had a snake that was about 3' long in our tree outside of the kitchen and one got in garage and was trying to come into the house.
 
an Eastern Milk at that.... we don't get the nice tri-colors around here. I don't know if the Easterns extend over to Indiana though, I'd have to check
 
milks are great... very docile snakes. If it's a rat (it'd be a black rat over your way too I think), they're a bit nippy even as adults, but calm down eventually (and musk like crazy when you first get them sometimes)

You took pics of the remaining eggs. Did you destroyed one. Maybe you can tell there?
