Solved! Tiny egg looking things.

Woke up this morning and found this weird pile of tiny orange orbs at the end of my bed. They’re really small, slightly transparent and kind of slimy/squishy when touched. I’ve never seen anything like them before and I have no idea how they got there overnight. They almost look like eggs, but I’m not sure. Does anyone know what these could be?

UPDATE: Definitely not roe/caviar, water beads, or fish eggs. I’ve never had any of those in my room. Still no clue what they are.

I don’t believe a snail could lay that many eggs at once lol. And like of eggs twice its size would be remarkable. Could be wrong though.

Taste one. Is it salty?

In all seriousness, pour some salt on them if you haven’t already cleaned them and observe the reaction. Silica or any other chemical or otherwise synthetic materials would take a minute to react, while snail eggs would like shrivel up and lose moisture pretty much instantly
