How big are Alligator snapping turtle kids?

Alligator snapping turtle hatchlings are typically about 3 to 4 inches long when they emerge from their eggs. They are relatively small compared to adult turtles, which can grow to be over 2 feet in length. Hatchlings are vulnerable at this stage, relying on their camouflage and aquatic environment for protection from predators. As they mature, they will gradually increase in size and gain more formidable defenses.
