I have a little clear pipe that i put my snails in with holes on the bottom and a lid on top to keep the snails from crawing out and i put put 1 shrimp pellet in there for them to eat. And i only have about 2 snails in there and they been laying eggs like crazy, its been a week since 2 egg patches have been layed, and now theres 5more patches. How long do they take to hatch?

BTW these are the kind of snails that people hate cause they spread all over the fishtank like crazy, but im just breeding them so i can feed my loaches a snack.
 
what kind of snails are you talking about theres a few that spreads all over once you get a few. common ones are incas, malaysian trumpets, ramshorn and those little grayish brown ones i dont know what they are called but they get everywhere, mine lays them in clear little jelly packets with the black specks of eggs inside those hatch in about 10 days or so.
 
I dont even know what mines are, i just asked the lfs worker if i can get some and they gave me a few for free and the egg packets are lil white jellys but with clear specks of eggs.

There shells are clear brown when they get sucked out of the shells by my loaches.
