In my opinion, I think a alligator snapper is, yet I own a common snapper who I love and is the nicest turtle I own. However I have talked to people who own alligator snappers and they say when u hold them, they don't lunge and try to bite as often as a common would (like the wild ones). So that's my opinion.

In my opinion, the common snapper is more dangerous, considering the long neck they posess. It is easier for someone who doesn't know what they are doing to get bit while handling a common snapper.
