Try that with a regular snapping turtle and you are likely to end up short a few fingers they can reach back almost to the base of their own tail. Really long necks on regular snappers.
It makes moving hens looking to lay off gravel roads a lot more dicey here every spring.
Don't forget the speed of their attack. They can snap that head back so quick, if you're not ready they will literally go somersaulting out of your hands.
