What did I find in my flowerpot?

So I was doing a bit of cleaning last night and noticed the rocks around the hibiscus plant were moved a bit. Out of fear of my cham ingesting some soil, I went to move the rocks back into place, and found these 3 tiny little things where the soil had been exposed.

My first thought was that I had found a few eggs, but I am going to toss this out to anyone with an opinion. The pen is there to show scale. What did I find?

It should be said that I have a WC Senegal chameleon, I am unsure of the age, and unsure of the sex. If these are eggs...well, that answers part of the question...

Let me know!

Looks like moisture beads from your soil to me, nothing to worry about if that is what they are.
 
Ok thanks! I am going to replant the hibisucs this weekend anyway due to an aphid problem I am dealing with, so I will make sure that the new soil doesn't have those.

As far as eggs, I am not concerned, I just need to know when to prepare for the laying process. (If I have a female, that is)

OH, if I were you buy some topsoil tomorrow and replant it because the fertilizer from the place you bought it from(and possibly pesticides) will hurt him a good one and possibly kill him I think. Just make sure you wash it real good and rinse the roots along with the branches. And yeah I have no idea how to sex a sengal chameleon, maybe look it up. I forgot how old you said he/she was but I know my Veiled will start to lay eggs in about a month and she is 4 months old almost.
