Hey Samantha,

Yes those sound like snail eggs to me, in a later stage of development.

Of course to make a more accurate identification a pic would of been needed.

there is not a lot of them and for me to get a picture that small would be inposible pluse it is clear and there are just white dots in the sack thing. it is very very small. what kind of snails would it be i just found a snail that was very small and looked like it could have just hached. the snails i have are under my name under current tanks.
thanks puffer21

The eggs are harmless. In some cases, you'll get baby snails, although most often the eggs go through a free-swimming stage and are eaten or starve, etc.
