Hi umm... So my black mystery snail layer eggs in my female betta tank and I'm worried my betta will eat them. My female betta has never harmed my snail before, but she has pushed her over. Will my betta eat the snails? If so, what do I do to keep the babys?

Cricky may eat the eggs/baby snails. The best thing to do is either remove the eggs to a new tank, put in a breeding net and put the eggs there or provide decorations and hiding areas for the eggs/snails. Be fore warned that snail may reproduce quickly and they can over populate. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additonal questions.
