Would an one year old snapping turtle eat a baby painted turtle?
Not right away. once the snapping turtle exceeds 5 inches, their bite starts to hurt so you should probably separate the two turtles at that point. Snapping turtles also get very large compared to most turtles so when the snapping turtle gets to be an adult it gets aggressive towards most things.Even as a young snapper they still have a powerful bite! As witnessed, it's safe to say that this is not recommended. The turtles are very curious to movement, any movement of any time for that matter. They think it is food and will likely bite the other turtle. Plus, in the wild majority of snapper's diets are other turtles!and don't always trust wikianswers they lie and this might not even be the real answer i was allowed to change it and this isn't even real!!!
What animals prey on Alligator snapping turtle?
Alligator snapping turtles reach maturity at around 12 years old. Once maturity is reached, these turtles are virtually indestructible so logic would tell you, the natural predators would have to make there advances before that age. The mother can lay up to 55 eggs at a time, out of these (optimal) 55 eggs, only 10 or so will survive. Once these little turtles emerge, large water snakes such as the Florida Green Watersnake, American Alligators, American Crocodiles, or maybe even a large chicken hawk could eat a young Alligator Snapping Turtle. Though, there's not many cases where a wild animal cares to harass a fully grown Alligator Snapping Turtle (besides humans) because such an encounter would probably yield no positive results!

How does the alligator snapping turtle stay safe?
The alligator snapping turtle is characterized by a large, heavy head, and a long, thick shell with three dorsal ridges of large scales (osteoderms) giving it a primitive appearance reminiscent of some of the plated dinosaurs. They can be immediately distinguished from the Common Snapping Turtle by the three distinct rows of spikes and raised plates on the carapace, whereas the common snapping turtle has a smoother carapace. They are a solid gray, brown, black, or olive-green in color, and often covered with algae. They have radiating yellowpatterns around the eyes, serving to break up the outline of the eye and keep the turtle camouflaged. Their eyes are also surrounded by a star-shaped arrangement of fleshy filamentous "eyelashes".

No. Though a bite from it may cause serious bleeding, especially if an appendage like a finger or toe is chomped off, it is not large enough to cause serious, fatal damage to a human being like a bite from a crocodile or alligator would.
