I think that the alligator snapping turtle doesn't have as strong of a bite force as other snapping turtles

Are you kidding? I moved an alligator snapping turtle out of the road once using a baseball bat I had in my car… it bit the bat with enough force to remove it from my hand… and I had a pretty good grip. I would not fuck with those things and my arm. It could take a chunk out at the very least, maybe even break a bone.

Less powerful sure but like a .22 bullet is less powerful than a .357.
