Don't mess with these guys unless you have to. theyll bite your fingers/hand clean off (depending how big they are) One of my fave YouTube Channels just put a video out on his pet hybrid snapper. Its a cross between a common and an alligator. Something i found interesting was he talks about handling the turtles and how if you support the bottom plate of the turt it doesn't snap at you (as much). Guess the way most people handle them like a burger can hurt the turtle.
I still have a scar on a finger from being bit by a wild baby snapper I found in the woods when I was little. Grabbed him by his rear legs, turns out, they can in fact reach.
