snail eggs

what do snail eggs look like

Usually it's fairly obvious. It's a clutch of eggs in a mucous like coating just above the water line.

When freshly laid they are a milky white and later they become a pink colour (in the case of apple snails eggs above the water line) mine laid some around three weeks ago and i am wondering if they are unfertilised as with the humidity and heat inside my hood they should have hatched in the third week

Not all snails lay there eggs above water. But the ones that don't are clear to off white eggs in a clear jelly looking stuff

Most do though and the odds are the snails will lay eggs above the water.

The apple snail family does. But Ramshorn Snails and pond snails don't. Trumpet snails don't lay eggs at all. Apple must lay above the water line or the baby snails will drown and the rest must lay below the water line or there babies can breath.
