Turtle trap
By David on 03/06/2020
I have had the trap in the water for two weeks but nothing yet. I literally see around 40 turtles sunning on the bank. I actually see turtles sunning on the trap but never fall in. I went as far as putting dog food attached to the bottom but no luck. Not sure what I'm doing wrong I will check the trap this weekend to see If anything

Not work at all, we are using over a month still not get any, and keep in and different food in still no luck. Let me know anything I can do.
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.
