You can mark turtles so that you can identify them at a latter time. Take a not too large file and u can file notches in the side of the shell were there is an overhang by there legs. I have read that one person who has a lager estate on Long Island NY has done this and they can tell what turtle it is many years latter. I read that they were original carving numbers into the shell to identify the turtles. But now they just notch them. Of course you have to keep a record of were and how many notches you make in any one turtle to identify it latter.
