You beat me to it, John. I would release them as quickly as possible so that they don't all stand a fighting chance. The reason that they lay so many eggs is because not all of them will make it, and baby snappers are likely an important summer food source in the area where you caught the parents.
Congrats on the babies! I would love to get some myself if I weren't overseas at the moment.
