how to tell the difference between florida apple and mystery?

I bought a snail a few days ago and it's laid 2 clusters of eggs, very very pink eggs. The snail was from petsmart labeled a black mystery snail. But it doesn't seem to be, one because of the egg colour. So I was wondering if it was maybe a Florida Apple snail? Or some other snail? It is hard to see, but those are a couple hours old very bright pink eggs.
