Snail eggs

Yesterday I picked up some plants ( Cryptocoryne) for my tank. I should have known better and came here first to get advice on eradicating any eggs that may have hitched a ride. I did find one snail.

Anywho....my question is this. I just noticed a few white spots on one of the plants and was wondering if these could possibly be snail eggs? If so, I remove them asap.

Tanks!

I think you can soak plants in ice water or salk water BEFORE you put them in the tank to remove snails and eggs. Give them a good shake every once in a while. After you put them in your tank: I do not know.
P.S. Some types of snails are good for your tank.
