new 'stuff' in my tank

I've got a small tank with just one male betta and a snail in it.

Just now, I noticed a few spots of what looks like little silver balls in a
stringy (looks kind of sticky) clear substance. The silver balls almost look
like mercury balls -they're that shiny and silver.

What the heck is that stuff? There's a tiny bit sticking to the side of the
blass and then a larger bunh floating upwards from a leaf...

Any ideas?

TIA,
Mary

You only need one snail to find eggs as they are asexual. The eggs will
hatch if your betta doesn't eat them (sometimes mine ate the eggs) and there
is excess food around.
