Mystery snail eggs fell in water, should I take them out so they can hatch?

I found a sac of mystery snail eggs above the water line in my tank. 10mins later they were on the bottom of the tank. I want them to hatch so should I take them out of the water? I seen someone say to put them in a plastic bag with a wet paper towel to keep them warm but will it still work if they have been under water for 10mins?

    i would say give it ago they should hatch in under 2 weeks

    put it in a tupperware bowl, put a little water in the bottom with a paper towel, and lay the clutch on top of the sponge, and float the tupperware in the tank.

    Supposedly it keeps the eggs at just the right wetness, and if you have fish in the tank, less chance of them being eaten.

    goodluck

    you should've flawed the 'penis tube' because of the fact the air tube thingy they use to respire whilst there is not adequate air. Is your tank precise oxgyenated? you should hit the grasp with some thing to break it. It sounds advise, besides the incontrovertible fact that it may help. you should circulate the grasp by heavily getting a knife, or some thing, and gently scraping it off and putting it in the same environment.
