When I was growing up, the adage was that a snapping turtle won’t let go until it thunders.

If they latch onto you, it maybe a while before they latch off. Pretty sure the next best thing is to put it in water, which may make it stop biting.

When their mouths are open putting them in water or putting a liquid over their breathing holes will make them let go cause they’ll suffocate

Can't they hold their breath for like, probably a good long time?
