If they're just Black Racer eggs, leave them be. The snakes are good for the landscaping. They eat the pest bugs that destroy gardens. They also eat lizards and small birds. And these snakes are in turn eaten by hawks and similar. They're part of the ecosystem and as long as you don't try to hurt them, they won't defend themselves by biting you. They are only aggressive to their food source and humans are not their food source.
