their bite is sort of two fold. the initial "snap" followed up by a torqueing crunch and if its out of the water, they dont like to release. sort of like a pit bulldog. its their only defense so you cant put the blame on the turtle. common snappers on the other hand are lightning quick and have more range and i think harder to handle.
