what is the jaw pressure like on a mata mata? Is it comparable to a snapping turtle?

I don't even want to know why you want to allow for the possibility of getting bitten by any turtle.

I don't...I just want to know if they are similar to a snapping turtle. I wouldn't want to be biten by anything.

I am sure it does not compare....Snappers( and alligators ) have bone blades in their mouth. You dont get that in matas...they just open a big, almost circular hole and gulp it in...looks a lot like the hind door of cargo planes....
 
i dont know much bout its jaw pressure but i like how her head looks like an upside down devil...
