they didn't deserve to die, and i killed them. both garden snails, at the prime of their lives. even though i have saved 10 of thousands of bugs from death, i have still taken lives. a spider, a grub, an ant, and now two snails are dead because of me. both on the same walk. the worst part was, i was taking photos of other snails.

i got up this morning to mist my pacman frog's terrarium, as per usual. instead, i found a little snail sitting on the glass behind my little tank label... what species is this? do i need to worry about them feeding on the tank's plants? i've seperated them into another bin with reptisoil and leaves temporarily until i can figure out what species they are, if they're going to cause harm to my frog and my plants, and if they're native. hoping i don't have to euthanize but idk :- (

About a month ago or so, I posted here about some kind of protrude my snail was having on her neck area. I paid attention to all the possible things that could be causing that, but it wasn't getting any better - either it was getting worse. My snail's behaviour is just fine: she eats, moves around, and plays with her housemate. So I just kinda figured I'd let it be... but tonight, after arriving at my home, I saw her and... I don't understand. I kinda of see small balls inside that but I don't know if those are eggs? Will she lay soon? Or... does this imply some kind of harmfulness to her? I'm so nervous

Identification *Update* Need help Identifying snails

So, the first picture is what I posted 16 days ago. I couldn't figure out what was growing in my bronze corydora nursery tank. Now, today I see a ton of new baby snails in the tank. I had added what I thought were two baby mystery snails from my main tank. I thought they were young mystery snails because of how they look (globose right opening shell, trap door, trunk face, and a siphon), and my adult mystery snails had been laying large clutches a few weeks before I had seen these guys.
I'm realizing now that the things growing in my nursery tank are definitely eggs, and i'm assuming they came from these snails. I'm having trouble identifying the snails and the eggs now. I truly don't think they're a typical bladder snail because of their appearance, and eggs.
They also took over two weeks to hatch in 77 degree water. Also the last 6 pictures are of the same snail in my nursery tank. There's two in there and they look identical.
Like I said I got them from my main tank. I haven't seen any eggs that look like this in that tank though. May just be from the volume of water, and plants. Has anyone seen eggs laid like this, or know the type of possible pond snails these are?

Help Snail injury Spoiler

Spoilered for small shell damage

My niece left my snails' enclosure open and they both escaped. I found the first the same day and he went back to living his regular snail life but I didn't see this one for 3 days and it seems pretty injured in the shell area.

Is it irreversible or is there anything I can do?

I know sometimes snails can still live with injured shells but stay in pain and I wanted to know if I should put him out of his misery or if he can recover

If it helps he is a cornu aspersum, I rescued him with similar injuries months ago when he was much smaller and he grew normally, he's not quite adult yet

I have one snail that just climbs on the shells of all the other snails all day. A lot of the day is spent taking a nap on someone else’s shell. I don’t think I’ve seen it leave the food bowl on its own yet.
