These guys and gals are only a few weeks old and still pretty teeny-tiny!
Two of my snails have been mating (I think) and I found this on the side of the tank a few days ago.
Do baby snails mate and produce eggs and lay them on the side of the tank?
It looks like a clear c-shaped sac holding white dots. 
 
I'm not sure what types of snails these little guys are. I think apple snails, non asexual but don't they lay eggs above water? I'll atatch a (bad) picture of the maybe-eggs and the snails. Thank you guys! 
 
 
The snails are a little bigger than this now.

Yes, do look like snail eggs.
 
I had common / pond snails that laid eggs like that.
 
Not sure if other snails lays eggs like that. 
 
They look like pond snail eggs to me, and the pic of the snails you show also does. Have a look at THIS to see if you can find what kind you have.
I noticed in your other thread you're getting another tank cause of the eggs? Is there a reason for this? ;o
 
Yep, look like snail eggs. I also read that, you dont need another tank. IN fact, its kind of difficult to get snails to stop breeding, as they keep going and one fertilizes the others eggs and each can hold sperm for a very long time. So if you get eggs its okay if a few get eaten, because trust me, most wont
