Don't worry, if they are burrowed into the substrate thry will hatch themselves. And if they aren't you can burry them yourself. Cepaea nemoralis eggs are very sturdy and allways seem to hatch even if you want them to or not. I don't know where you are but I believe Cepaea nemoralis is a native snail? In that case you can release any unwanted babys into the wild when they hatch.

I doubt the flies would affect the eggs too much. How many flies are there?

Their were 15 to 20 flies {small flies,may have been fruit flies}. We removed the section of dirt with the eggs and replaced the soil, we live in washington state so if we did miss any eggs there won't be any issues,placed eggs back in,we placed a pair of pantyhose over the top of her tub.She is laying even more eggs as we speak{crazy snail ;D} Thank you all for your help with this, thank you so much, you people are awesome.

if you have tiny fly problems i find that squishing as many as possible with kitchen roll should help cut back on them.
