How Do I Care For Snail Eggs?

I have a ten gallon tank with 2 mystery snails and a Docile Betta, and last night I noticed some type of clutch on the glass, so I looked it up and I got mystery snail eggs. I have another mystery snail in another tank that has never laid eggs so i'm assuming its a male. Anyways the snail in the ten gallon names are butters and Turbo and I know butters laid the eggs but turbo hasn't been out of his shell moving around in 3 days now. Turbo doesn't smell so he's not dead so I think that's the male...maybe. So I posted because I have no clue how to care for snail eggs, I would like them to be fertile for some baby snails but I don't know how to care for those either.
Any Help Is Aperciated!
Here is a picture I’m not even sure if they are eggs lol

Ehh if they are eggs they look to be all dried up. A healthy clutch would look pale pink/white/yellowish. I'd say remove it and take more pics, just to be sure it is/was an egg sac. For all I know it could just be some snail poo as many a snail will poo above the water line.

That doesn't look like mystery snail eggs to me either. This is what mine look like.

Okay that’s what I thought lol. Will a female lay eggs when there is no males in the tank? I want to try and breed some and see if I like it.

I think she will lay eggs but they won't be viable. They need a male and female to make babies.

Do you have a lid? You can just leave the clutch as it is, the mom usually finds a good place. It'll change color over time, eventually turning dark purple and gray before it hatches. If you don't have a lid, you may want to mist it once a day. Don't soak it as the clutch can drown
