There is no correlation between the hide and actual mouth. I had a female once that would hang off a hide for just about forever. In the summer for so long til she passed out, wake up and then go again. Without a hide hanging she would eat rocks, roots houses, etc. So I kept her with a hide off a garage door spring and a hide 24/7.

She had so-so mouth. But what she had was violent shakes. Incredible neck strength and a powerful core. She did not bite incredibly hard but the aftermath looked like she was an axe murderer.
