Feeder Snail Help.

I was cleaning my snail bowl and when I was going to dump the water, I noticed this clear mucus like floating around in the dirty water, its also has white specks in it, it kinda looks like poop..are they eggs? Should I dump the water back in the bowl. The water isn't that dirty.

What kind of snails are they? Google that species and their eggs - use Google Images.

I believe they are Pond snails, do you know how long it takes to hatch, i've searched on google but nothing more that wiki answers

It sounds very much like snail eggs to me, especially as you are seeing white "specks". I'm not sure they will hatch once they are disturbed though. Sometimes the ramshorn eggs come unattached from the glass and they seem to sink down and re-attach to something else, but I don't have any real experience with pond snails, so can't really say much on them.

Those mucus like blobs with the specs are probably eggs. They can takes weeks to hatch. Pond snails seem to breed much slower then ram snails and they are small full grown.They grow very slow. It can take 3 or 4 months to have a fair amount of them. They probably will survive you putting them back in the tank.

Poop is a brownish color usually in a thin brownish string. The eggs are dots sort of....lol, I bred them but I am not expert.

ok, put them back them back in..now..we wait.
