Tiny fluid-filled balls in herb garden...eggs perhaps? (planter, herbs, new)

[thepinksquid]

I have an outdoor planter with various herbs in it, and recently I've been finding a good deal of little (like 3 mm diameter) white-to-beige colored balls in the soil. At one point I picked one up and accidentally gave it a bit too much pressure and it burst--was filled with some sort of fluid.

Are these eggs? Do I need to do something about them? I know that snails have recently been enjoying my garden...could it be snail eggs?

Thanks!

If they look something like this, then yeah. Snail or slug eggs. Hate 'em.

Great info. I'd seen those before in my planters and never knew what they were. Thanks!
