Most snails lay eggs all the time on the glass. I don't think it's any thing to worry about. Scrape them off or leave them. "your choice"

You've got a big tank. Those turbo snail eggs could have been anywhere -- under a rock, on the glass behind something, etc.
I'll have to get some snails. The new lights I got are making the algae grow like crazy.
