Expert Response  Expert response:

We are sorry to hear the trap is not working for you. We have reached out to Tomahawk Live trap and they responded with the following You may be trying to trap a turtle that dose not bask, the 409 turtle trap will not work on turtles that do not clime onto things to bask in sunlight. For example snapping turtles will simply float at the water’s surface to bask and rarely bask outside of the water. Here is an article for trap placement to catch basking turtles. https://blog.pondking.com/turtle-trap-placement-to-catch-turtles

Catching 15 to 25 turtles every couple days. Dumping them out is kinda awkward but it traps them well.
