The eggs are probably from Achatina fulica then? sometimes it can be hard rehoming Snails of that species, as they are so common, so not sure whether it would be worth hatching them? if you wanted to though they could of been left where they were and they probably wouldve still hatched, since youve removed them you could either freeze the eggs if you didnt want to hatch them, or place them in a small container, with coir or soil as substrate, some moss, and keep them relatively humid, in a similar environment to your Snails, they can hatch as early as around 2 days, but usually around a week or so.
