I am so inclined as to "etch" a slight mark on them. But don't because I do not want to put them into shock being that they are only a day old. If you ever go to that area - just remember - There were about 3 dozen hatchlings released by yours truly over an 9 year span. Not much if you average it out - But then there were years where I had no hatchlings from the adults taken from that general area & some years more. It sometimes hurt to release them because I know, in reality, maybe one will survive to breed. The others are taken by other animals & of course - other people which I can't do anything about. It's really sad to leave them. I watch them "disappear into & under places of hide", then I leave with a lump in my gut.
