I use to breed snails when I was a wee nipper - they're a great pet aren't they? They do sound like eggs - although I can't remember how long eggs took to hatch. Snails possess both male and female genitalia - when they mate a tube attaches the 2 snails near the neck and they stay like that for a while. Then they'll lay eggs and a while later you'll have 100's of baby snails - very sweet. There's a chance that these eggs haven't been fertilised - but I'd be inclines to leave them for a while longer yet. Really wish I could remember how long it took for eggs to hatch!

What is it a land snail or a water snail? If it`s a land snail the eggs are white ,because I`ve studied snails before . But I know about water snails Just wait and see what happens.

fertile eggs are white, these are probably infertile. I would just pull them out.
