I have a small 10 gallon with 2 mystry snails in it. I did a water change dropped the level of the water and 2 days later saw this. Are these the eggs I am hoping for?

TIA

Nope, give me a second and I’ll show you mystery snail eggs.

Also be careful and plug every hole leading out of the tank or they might lay outside of the tank and fall off or not be able to get back in.

Also you may not have a m/f pair with only 2, have you sexed them?
 
So this is a snail grow out tank (I "acquired" assassin snails with some plants). There are pond snails and Rams horn snails but all really small. Never seen a smear like this before. The only large snails are the mystry snails.
 
I am not knowledgeable about the eggs of the other snails you listed so I can’t talk about those, all I know is that What you have shown are not mystery snail eggs, sorry comrade.
 
I feel really dumb. I dropped the water level and the top of the sponge filter is now at the surface of the water. I fed them some leftover shrimp food that was a little powdery. Well the powder stuck to the wall, and slightly expanded. I wiped it all off.

I’ve done dumber things so don’t feel bad.

So believe it or not, I got some eggs. I had plugged the holes around my lid and that brought my humidity way up. A few eggs broke off and fell into the water. Do I leave them as snail food, or remove them like a dead fish?

The 2 snails are a blue and a black. Waiting to see what they produce.
