This is a strange one, iredalei dont lay eggs but give birth to live young snails, it could be that if it is possible the snail has laid them premature.....the only suggestion I could make is keep the humidity up, keep them warm and observe, is the parent snail well? Im not an expert but logic would suggest that if the parent snail was not well it could of dumped its un hatched snails prematurely.......keep us informed.

she could just have had too many inside her and maybe thats why she has laid them premature, its strange to have one snail laying eggs ,i dought if it was any of the others

Eric, you cannot really do anything. One of my iredaleis too laid last year this soft-eggs and short time afterward the iredalei (an old one) was dead. Maybe they lay premature-eggs just to give the babies a chance (not knowing that there are no developed babies in the eggs?)?
I am sorry, that I am no help.
Kind regards,
Gabi
