Instructions
Examine the back of the hatchlings. They should have a rough texture and a dark color to their shell.
Look at their tails. They should be long, about an inch and dark brown.
Turn the hatchlings vertically. You should see little white spots on their bellies that surround the edge of their shells
Look at the hatchling̵7;s head. It should be elongated, with a bit of a beak on the end.
Observe their limbs. Each limb should have claws on the end. If all of these characteristics are evident, then you have a snapping turtle hatchling.
