In Scene 1 lines 32-34
A serpent's egg is not dangerous; it's just an egg. But it could become dangerous if it hatched. Brutus's point is that like the serpent's egg Caesar was bound to hatch into something really dangerous and he would be easier to deal with while he was still in the egg stage.
In Brutus's soliloquy at the beginning of Act 2 Scene 1.
Brutus actually compares Caesar to an unhatched serpent, not to a newly hatched one. "And therefore think him as a serpent's egg, which, hatch'd would, as his kind, grow mischievous" The point of the comparison is to show that Caesar is potentially dangerous, not dangerous now.
Yes, Marcus Brutus compares Julius Caesar to a serpent's egg which when hatches results in the existence of the poisonous serpent which if grows to its kind, becomes dangerous. Similarly, Julius Caesar, if bestowed with the crown, would become so powerful as to endanger the peaceful lives of the Romans.
If you take the trouble to read it, this soliloquy, which starts with the sentence "It must be by his death" and ends with "And therefore think him as a serpent's egg which, hatched, would, as his kind, grow mischievous, and kill him in the shell" twice names the person it concerns. It does not name any other person. Get out your copy of the play, find the soliloquy and look for the names Caesar, Antony, Lucius (that's the servant) and Portia (that's Brutus's wife).
He compares him to a serpent's egg.
Thus Brutus decides action must be taken now, as Caesar is like a serpent's egg - dangerous once hatched. Time to make an omelet. More.... http://www.shmoop.com/event/literature/w…

A fresh chicken egg will sink, an old egg will float. The egg has an air pocket in the blunt end that grows as the egg dries out.
