Default Snails!

I have 3 little snails, and they lay boodles of eggs! I don't want to get rid of them, but is it a bad idea to keep them if i don't want my semi-planted ten to get over run?
they have layed about 10 bunches in 2 days. its scary!
What do you guys think? Keep um and deal with the babies later, or just get rid of all but one?

if you see eggs and you dont want the tank overrun the best idea is to get rid of the eggs.

Many snails can reproduce asexually...meaning if you want to get rid of them you need to get rid of all of them because just getting rid of all but one wont do much good. Only exception I know of in aquariums are apple snails that need two to breed.
