Hi There, Very new to the forum and am hoping someone can help me, I have a cold water aquarium with ONE great Pond Snail in it, It has laid two long streams of eggs on the glass side, with it being a solitary snail will these eggs be infertile or can i expect to be overrun with baby snails ( I have a tropical tank which has being overrun with Ramshorn's Snails !!!!!, now trying to keep them in check with Clown Loaches)
Thank you In advance
Tony

Welcome to the forum. 
They are hermaphrodites, so I suppose it's quite possible they can fertilize their own eggs.

Thank you everyone for your replies, so it looks like my Koi in the garden are going to get some more treats ( they love the ramshorn)
