GOB, Those snappers can really raise hell with a slow thumb. When I was a high school kid one of those grabbed my thumb when I was trapping (setting a leghold trap under a cutbank.) It doesn't take long to retreive your hand and fortunately I had on fairly thick rubber gloves so when I yanked hard my thumb slipped out of his mouth. He still had that rubber glove in his mouth when I put a cylinder of .38 Specials through the back of his shell.
