I found them under a pot plant which unfortunately I had to move so I collected them up trying not to disturb them and am keeping them out of the light.

I didnt realise they were so big, I can see the young developing inside the egg, they move around within the eggs. I can make out a head and tail and eyes. They look like tadpoles haha.

I thought it was best to be safe then sorry, if they are snail/slug eggs I'll feed them out.

i googled it to be sure.looks like it what do you think?

you meany :evil: they are helpless!

They look like slug eggs a fair bit apart from the inside. The only other egg I found that looks like them is Archey's frog eggs.

The snail and slug eggs Im finding are a cloudy colour, these eggs are clear, the white comes from the young inside.

I doubt they are Archey's frogs eggs though. Most likely snail or slug.

Since gastropods (snails & slugs) live in moist/semi-aquatic environments they are hosts for a number of fish parasites. Many of these have complex life cycles (and therefore pose little risk to some of our exotic species) but I personally wouldn't chance it.
