Egg sack ID

[Brennan]

On the left side of the bottom filter box I found a red egg sack attached to the side. It was a red-orange color, about an inch long, half inch wide, with white dots (assuming those are the eggs). It was hard on the outside but squishy on the inside once I scrapped it off. I didn't get a picture of it.

Was wondering if anyone could ID what this was.

Yes! That's it!

Phew- I was afraid it was some insidious insect. I just have one mystery snail. If I left them, would they hatch? And they lay their eggs above the water?

 

[DutchMuch]

would they hatch? And they lay their eggs above the water?

Prob. not I would think.... but yes above water.
Idk maybe they will hatch for you. if its warm out they will.

 

[Brennan]

Yes it's very warm out here (AZ). They really will hatch based on temperature? Even if there's not two snails?

They really will hatch based on temperature? Even if there's not two snails?

pretty sure.
I was just asking to make sure its consistently over seventy degreesF.

 

[Brennan]

Sweet. I'm going to leave it next time I see it.

Snails are hermaphrodites, so they don't necessarily need two to do it!
