Most species won't, but some burrowing species will eat egg they can handle, including other lizard's eggs. Varanids are known to eat even corodilian eggs, and likely will eat lizards eggs as well.

The bigger frog will eat the smaller frog if the other frog can fit into the bigger frog's mouth. But if the big frog sees a small toad, he might have enough sense to not eat the toad because toads have a mucus that is TOXIC to frogs' sensitive skin.

King snakes (and King Cobras) are the only snakes that seek out other snakes as a primary food source. Although, most snakes will eat another snake under the right conditions (if deprived of other food for a prolonged time, or, if two snakes both grab the same food item the larger snake will continue eating and eat the smaller).
all species of snake can and will eat another snake. although how common or rare it is depends on the species of snake. all can and will do it if they are hungry and there's no other options for food.

I've even seen cases where a ball python ate a larger ball python it was being housed with, then died

turtles may snap at each other but rarely do harm unless the other turtle is smaller and limbs can be mistaken for food
