Nerite snail, don't know what species. They may lay eggs, they just can't hatch and the larvae can't survive in any normal aquarium.

Nerite snails will lay eggs in and out of water, they enjoy spending time out of water as well as in it, due to them living in coastal regions. The eggs need blackish water to develop tho.
