They are very similar to pond snail egg sacs, its quite difficult to differentiate. The ramshorn eggs seem to be in a flatter sac that is more ovoid and less globular than the pond snails.
yer pondsnails are like a more rounder and wobbly jelly like were the rams are more flat and harder.
Still working to get that photo up. Woofy is going to get a new camera this weekend so maybe get better quality pics.
Another question...baby rams....are they all spotted and grow into their color? I've noticed that there a several small ones and their shells are spotted. All the big ones I have seen have a solid color.

I started with five solid brown snails, and now I have snails that are mostly white, spotted, or solid brown. Some of the spotted ones do become more solid after a while, but for the most part, they keep the spots. The mostly white ones are still 'blonde' colored, too.
In my tank, I get a ratio of about 1 white : 3 spotted : 2 solid, on a guess.

All of mine, regardless of color, are born with spots and loses them as they grow. This should be normal for ramshorns, as I've never seen a full-grown one that retains spots.
Blue Ramshorn Snail egg clutch, one was empty and one not fertile, but the rest are ready to hatch....

if they hatch with spots they will keep there spots. if they hatch with a solid colour they will stay a solid colour.
